Can a dentist office charge late fee on fee?

It depends on the specific agreement between the dentist office and the patient.

In general, a dentist office can charge a late fee on a fee that is past due. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.

- If the patient has a valid reason for not paying the fee on time, the dentist office may not be able to charge a late fee.

For example, if the patient was in the hospital or had a family emergency, the dentist office may waive the late fee.

- The dentist office must also give the patient notice of the late fee, including the amount and date of the late fee. If the office doesn't provide notice, it may not be able to collect the late fee.

> The best way to avoid late fees is to pay your dental bills on time. To stay up-to-date on all financial matters. If you are having trouble paying your dental bills, talk to your dentist office. They may be able to work out a payment plan that meets your needs.
