All four of my wisdom teeth ended not being coved after dentist asst. said they were. who should be billed?

i asked twice if they are covered by my insurants. The dental asst. said " yes, your insurance covers the procedure." i found out later that my insurants only pays half. who should pay?
--------------------
You are responsible for the balance. Just because she said the procedure was covered, it doens't mean it was covered 100%. If it wasn't an emergency, a pre-treatment estimate could have been sent in to your insurance company to see approximately what your out-of-pocket expenses would be. Then you'd have it on paper, in black and white. Were any of them considered 'bony impactions'? If so, the claim can be submitted to your medical insurance for additional benefits.... Good luck!
