FOR PATIENTS
INSURANCE
Dr. Lee is an out-of-network provider with most PPO plans.
​
Your dental plan is a form of compensation provided by your employer. You can expect the carrier (insurance company) to reimburse you for a portion of our fee. That portion is determined by the contract between your employer and the insurance company. The higher the premium paid by your company, the more generous the reimbursement.
​
Although we are not a party to the contractual arrangement with your insurance company, we do want to help you receive the maximum reimbursement to which you are entitled. As a convenience to you we will help you process your insurance claims in order for you to receive this maximum benefit. We will also gladly provide dental x-rays and a written diagnostic report should your insurance company have any questions about the services provided.
​
FIRST VISIT
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, treatment can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
​
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
-
Your referral slip and any x-rays (if applicable)
-
A list of your current medications
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
​
X-Rays
​
If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, you may request that they forward them to Dr. Michelle Lee at michelleleeddsnyc@gmail.com. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
