An orthodontic payment plan has many of the same features as a regular payment plan. There is a balance owed and a series of payments made periodically that will ultimately pay off that balance. QSIDental Web handles many of the calculations.
There are also differences. Some patients have dental insurance which will cover part of the orthodontic expense. These insurers will pay up to the annual or lifetime maximum, but frequently wish to do so in periodic payments. Therefore, the ortho payment plan allows both a patient and an insurance component. That insurance component can even be further divided between primary and secondary insurers.
Creating an ortho plan begins with the specific type of orthodontic procedure, the dates the treatment will begin, and the date it is estimated to conclude. From there, insurance and patient options are enabled and specific payment requirements set.
