Terms and Conditions
Updated dental tariff of the Cristian Kun dental practice
On January 1, 2018, the revised dental tariff DENTOTAR® came into effect for billing dental services. The previous tariff was 25 years old and was updated to accommodate modern treatment methods. Outdated items were removed, and new ones were added to meet current legal and economic requirements.
The new pricing reflects the increased costs for personnel, maintenance and consumables.
In addition, a basic fee for the disinfection of the workplace per session has been introduced to cover the additional costs for quality assurance in sterilization.
Our services are billed in accordance with the SSO tariff. The tax point value for billing with the tariff partners UV/MW/IV was set at CHF 1.00. In the private sector, the tax point value should not exceed CHF 1.70 for SSO members.
Our tax point value is CHF 1.10.
Please note that appointments that are not canceled on time (less than 24 hours in advance) will be charged. We will be happy to remind you of your appointment by SMS, e-mail or telephone. Please let us know which contact method you prefer.
We are happy to provide estimates for both minor and extensive treatments and discuss various treatment options and the associated costs. For larger treatments, we reserve the right to ask for an advance payment. In cooperation with our laboratory, we offer special conditions for budget crowns in the posterior region. Crowns that are almost invisible can be offered at lower prices with simpler color coatings. Payment can be made conveniently in cash, by invoice or by twint/credit cards (please note that charges will be added to the invoice).
Terms of payment and default of payment
Invoices must be paid within 14 days without deductions. Partial payments are only accepted in exceptional cases. Patients who have outstanding invoices must settle them before making a new appointment.
In cases of debt collection, Cristian Kun Dental Practice reserves the right to offer future treatments only against cash payment. Credit checks will be carried out which may require payment in advance.
If payment is still not made after the last reminder, the outstanding debts will be passed on to debt collection.
Costs for late payment
A fee of CHF 25 is charged for each reminder (from the second reminder onwards). The processing fee (at the earliest 80 days after the invoice date and upon transfer to a debt collection service provider) varies depending on the amount of the claim and ranges from CHF 37 to 6% of the claim from CHF 50,000.
Data protection
As part of the provision of services, the practice may collect, store, process and pass on personal data to third parties in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. This is done to fulfill contractual obligations, to maintain the patient relationship and for billing purposes.
