What Does It Mean to Be a Fee-for-Service Practice?
At Dr. Peter Hazim’s office, we operate as a fee-for-service dental practice. That means we work directly for you—the patient—not your insurance company. We will still file your dental claims for you and the estimated patient portion would be due at time of service.
This model may be different from what you’re used to, but it comes with several key benefits designed to put your oral health—and your experience—first.
Why Fee-for-Service Is Better for You
1. Personalized, High-Quality Care
In a fee-for-service practice, we are not limited by the restrictions of insurance networks. That means Dr. Hazim can recommend the best treatment based on your needs—not what’s dictated or reimbursed by an insurance company. You get individualized care tailored to you.
2. No Rushed Appointments
We value your time and your health. Without the pressure of seeing a high volume of patients to meet insurance quotas, Dr. Hazim is able to spend more time with you, thoroughly explain your treatment options, and ensure every procedure is done with care and precision.
3. Transparent Costs
There are no surprise bills or hidden fees. You’ll always know the cost of your treatment up front, and you can make informed decisions about your care. We provide detailed receipts that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
4. Less Insurance Red Tape
Insurance claims can be frustrating and often delay treatment. By eliminating insurance barriers, we focus on what matters most—your health and comfort, without waiting for approval or coverage limitations.
You Deserve a Different Kind of Dental Experience
Dr. Hazim believes that the best care happens when the doctor and patient are fully aligned. Our fee-for-service model allows us to build stronger relationships, offer higher-quality care, and ensure your needs come first—every time.
