Payment, Insurance and Financing
We Believe:
When dental treatment is needed or wanted, payment for services should be as streamlined and simple as possible.
Our Financial Policy: Payment in full is expected at time of treatment or services before you leave the office.
No Insurance: Payment in full is expected at the end of the appointment before you leave the office or you can purchase one of our Membership Savings Programs (see details below).
Insurance: Your estimated patient portion / co-insurance is expected at time of service before you leave the office.
Methods of Payment:
*We Are Pleased To Offer Financing through CareCredit!
The opportunity to obtain a personal line of credit that can be used for any dental products or services with no restrictions.
- Simple application process
- Instant approval
- No down payment needed.
Insurance
We do accept and can bill or send a claim to most dental insurance companies. Dr. Carothers is a PREMIER provider for MODA (former ODS) and "in-network" with Delta Dental and MetLife. As long as your insurance allows you to choose your own dentist, we can bill your insurance. Please remember, your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company and you are responsible for any charges not covered by your insurance.
Medicare
Dr. Carothers is contracted and In-Network with MODA / Delta Dental's Medicare Advantage Program of Oregon.

Privacy and Respect
All of the financial conversations and activities take place in a private office. We believe that it is important at all times for you to feel comfortable when discussing such matters. You will always be given the respect of having diagnosed dental needs, the estimated fees of the treatment plan and your anticipated insurance reimbursement benefits explained to you. Services will never be performed until you clearly understand the financial aspect involved.
