Refund Policy

At SONRISAI LLC, we are committed to delivering high-quality dental billing and revenue cycle management services. Because our work involves time, expertise, and customized processes, we believe in maintaining a fair and transparent refund policy. This Refund Policy explains how refunds are handled, what circumstances qualify, and how clients may request a refund if applicable.

Service Nature & Non-Tangible Work

Our services involve ongoing labor, specialized tasks, administrative processes, and professional guidance. Because we provide non-tangible, non-returnable services, refunds are not always applicable. However, we strive to ensure client satisfaction and fairness, and we evaluate refund requests thoughtfully.

General Refund Policy

Unless otherwise stated in a written agreement, SONRISAI LLC generally does not offer refunds for:

  • ✔ Completed work
  • ✔ Time spent on claims, verification, credentialing, or administrative tasks
  • ✔ Monthly service fees once work has begun
  • ✔ Missed or delayed payments caused by insurance carriers
  • ✔ Errors resulting from incorrect information provided by clients
  • ✔ Delays arising from factors outside our control

Because billing and credentialing involve external systems, payer rules, and processing times, outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Our responsibility is to provide accurate, timely, and professional service — not to guarantee reimbursement results.

Refunds for Service Fees Paid in Advance

If a client prepaid for services that have not yet been started, a partial or full refund may be issued at our discretion. Any refund amount will be based on:

  • ✔ Work already completed
  • ✔ Time spent preparing or reviewing accounts
  • ✔ Administrative costs
  • ✔ Custom onboarding tasks

If no work has been performed, the client may qualify for a full refund.

Refunds for Monthly Billing Plans

Clients paying monthly for ongoing billing services typically are not eligible for refunds once a billing cycle has begun. Monthly fees cover immediate work such as:

  • ✔ Claims processing
  • ✔ Posting
  • ✔ A/R follow-up
  • ✔ Verification
  • ✔ Administrative tasks

Since work begins at the start of each cycle, refunds for that period are generally not provided.

Refunds for Credentialing Services

Credentialing involves third-party timelines and approval decisions. Refunds are not issued for:

  • ✔ Application delays
  • ✔ Denials by payers
  • ✔ Requests for additional documentation
  • ✔ Processing timelines outside our control

Refunds may only be considered if no applications have been submitted and minimal work has been completed.

Service Dissatisfaction

We always aim to resolve concerns promptly. If a client is unhappy with a service, we encourage them to contact us immediately so we can:

  • ✔ Review the issue
  • ✔ Correct errors (if any)
  • ✔ Clarify misunderstandings
  • ✔ Adjust workflows
  • ✔ Improve communication

Refunds may be offered only in rare cases where the service was not delivered at all or substantially deviated from what was promised.

Disputes & Chargebacks

We encourage clients to contact us before initiating chargebacks. Chargebacks filed without prior communication may result in:

  • ✔ Service termination
  • ✔ Collection efforts
  • ✔ Legal action if applicable

We prefer resolving concerns directly and professionally.

How to Request a Refund

Clients must submit refund requests in writing via email. Requests should include:

  • ✔ Client name and contact information
  • ✔ Description of the issue
  • ✔ Service period involved
  • ✔ Reason for the request
  • ✔ Supporting evidence (if applicable)

We review all requests carefully and provide a response within a reasonable timeframe.

Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed using the original payment method. Processing times may vary depending on financial institutions.

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Refund Policy periodically. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of updates.
