La Facultad de Odontología elimina las tarifas de depósito para atención dental en adultos
El precursor de lo que hoy es la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Texas A&M abrió sus puertas hace 120 años en Dallas con la misión de formar dentistas para ofrecer atención de calidad a pacientes en el norte de Texas y más allá. Esto incluye ofrecer una variedad de servicios dentales a la comunidad con tarifas reducidas. Para retribuir a la comunidad del norte de Texas que ha apoyado a la facultad de odontología, con efecto inmediato, A&M Dentistry ha eliminado las tarifas iniciales de depósito que se cobraban a los posibles pacientes adultos, lo que representa un ahorro de $194 para la atención de salud oral que ya se ofrecía a precios descontados. Una persona que desee convertirse en nuevo paciente ahora paga una tarifa fija de $120 por el registro, la cita de evaluación y las radiografías. Si una persona no es aceptada como paciente, no se cobrará ninguna tarifa. Read More
College drops dental care deposit fees for adults
The forerunner of what’s now Texas A&M College of Dentistry opened 120 years ago in Dallas with the mission of educating dentists to provide quality care to patients in North Texas and beyond. That includes providing an array of dental services to the community at reduced fees. To give back to North Texas community that’s supported the dental college, effective immediately, A&M Dentistry has eliminated initial deposit fees charged to potential adult patients – a $194 savings to oral health care already offered at discounted rates. A person seeking to become a new patient is now charged a flat $120 for registration, the screening appointment and X-rays. If a person is not accepted as a patient, no fee will be charged. Read More
