To our loyal patients,

In our latest round of billing over 600 invoices were sent out. While most of these invoices were correct, there was a computer glitch that generated several false involves. If you feel you have received one of these inaccurate invoices, We ask you to do the following:

1. Contact your insurance company and ask for an explanation of benefits. This will inform you of what your insurance company is asking us to collect from you.
2. Gather any credit card receipts or proof of payment you may have and see if there are any discrepancies.
3. Call our office to schedule a time to meet with Kassy, our Insurance and Billing Coordinator for resolution.

Our reports are based on what your insurance company is asking us to collect from you. We ask for your patience as we are sorting through several hundred accounts at this time. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kindly,
Dr. Simeone and your Chester County Dental Arts team
