NOTICE OF COVID-19 PPE FEE
June 4, 2020
To our wonderful patients:
If you have had an appointment since our reopening a few weeks ago, you might have noticed some changes in the layout of our office, as well as our familiar faces being virtually concealed. We have taken many precautions to protect you, the patient, as well as ourselves.
We want to assure you that our first priority is, and always has been, your health and safety as we continue to provide you with the highest quality of dental care.
Our staff is very happy to be serving our patients and community again. With all of the personal protective equipment (PPE) that we are now required to purchase and wear, we have significantly higher supply costs. Due to this cost increase, we will be charging a PPE fee of $12 per patient, per visit starting on Monday, June 8th to help cover the costs we are incurring. If you have insurance coverage, we will be billing this amount to them along with your regular procedures. Some insurance companies have already agreed to pay these new costs. However, any remaining fee that is not covered by your insurance, may be billed directly to you.
We want to thank you for being so understanding during this difficult time. We are hopeful that COVID-19 and its effects will be over soon, and this additional cost will no longer be necessary.
Thank you for all of your continued support,
Your Dental Team
