Patient Resources

Dallas Dentist

Thank you for choosing Larry D. Herwig, D.D.S. for your dental needs. Please call the office during daily business hours and we will be happy to find you a convenient appointment, or you may leave a message and we will return you call the next business day. We are committed to providing you with excellent care and convenient financial options. The following is an updated explanation of our insurance policy and financial arrangements.

Payment Options

Payment in full is due at the time services are rendered unless prior financial arrangements have been made. For your convenience, we offer several payment options.

• Cash, Check, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover
• Pre-payment cash discount available over $500
• Monthly payment plans available through a third party for amounts over $300

Dental Insurance

We are happy to file all dental claims for you and provide an estimate in good faith, not a guarantee of payment, of what your insurance will cover for any dental treatment. You will be responsible for your estimated patient portion at the time services are rendered, as well as any amount that your insurance claim payment does not cover for any reason. Since Dr. Herwig is out of network for ALL insurance companies this amount may vary and a pre-determination of benefits can be sent upon request. Outstanding balances after 60 days will become the patient’s responsibility.

Please know that dental benefits are based on the contract between your employer and the insurance company, not your actual dental needs. Our office is committed to helping patients maximize their benefits but our main concern is your dental health, which is not always the same as your insurance benefits. Our financial coordinator can assist you in knowing what will and will not be covered by your dental insurance.

For more information on Dental PPOs, Out-Of-Network, Deductibles & Copays, HSA, & FSA please see our Insurance FAQs.

Missed Appointments

Once an appointment has been made, please remember that this time has been reserved specifically for you. In hopes of keeping an efficient schedule and respecting the time of each patient, we kindly request that you arrive promptly for all appointments and ask 48 hours notice to move an appointment. Cancellations or changes are sometimes unavoidable but should be made at least 24 business hours prior to your appointment to avoid a cancellation fee.

Financial Consent

The patient (account holder) agrees to be fully responsible for total payment of all services rendered in this office.
