Health Insurance

Diagnostic and treatment services offered in our practice are billed as medical services. Dr. Gould participates in a wide array of medical insurance plans, and his practice files medical insurance claims as a courtesy to the patient. Medical co-payments are collected from the patient at the time of the appointment.

Our practice also provides careful long term patient follow-up diagnostic and treatment services when indicated, including patients with a history of:

• Chronic oral inflammatory diseases (e.g. recurrent oral ulceration, lichen planus, vesiculobullous disorders).

• Recurrent oral infection.

• Premalignant disease.

• Oral cancer.

• Jaw cysts and tumors with significant potential for recurrence.

We place patients on prospective structured schedules for follow-up evaluation to assure detection of recurrent disease, with patient status reports periodically forwarded to the referring health care provider.

All photographic and radiographic records documenting patient examination are maintained. We assure that therapeutic intervention promptly occurs.

Selection of treatment specialists are made in consultation with the referring health care provider.

Accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment of oral lesions and diseases are of vital importance in enabling the provision of optimum patient care. Our services in clinical oral and maxillofacial pathology are designed to help you meet this goal.

As an oral health care professional, you understand that TIME is your most scarce and valuable asset. Diagnosis and treatment of oral lesions, while critically important to proper patient care, can be a highly specialized and time consuming process. Working with Dr. Gould and his team helps you maximize the productivity of your practice while ensuring the highest quality in patient diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
