i paid my dental bill in full but the dentist still filed on my insurance. my reimbursement check was sent to the dentist also. isnt that a crime? why should they even file the claim if they have already been paid. i told them i would file for my reimbursement myself. i feel like they are ripping me off and getting paid twice
--------------------
If you paid your bill in full, and your dental insurance paid it's share, you should have a credit balance on your account, which should be refunded to you. While submitting insurance claims is time-consuming and can be frustrating at times, there is no reason your benefits should have been assigned to the denist....unless of course your signature was forged. Get a copy of the EOB (explanation of benefits) from the dental office and request a check in full for the amount due you.... it should match the EOB amount, so you won't be ripped off a second time. If the claim was submitted electronically, someone still had to be sitting at the keyboard and hit 'go', so it's not a standard submission. Whoever did it needs to pay more attention to what they're doing......... Best of luck!

I have a cavity and no insureance . Do dental offices take payment plans ?
Im 23 and make very little the most i could pay out is like 25 bucks a week and I have a cavity in my upper tooth towards the back. Do you know of a dental office or dental insurance place that will work with me ? Please help me.

Call around to local dentists in your area to find out what they charge and whether or not you can make monthly payments. Most dentists will accept monthly installments instead of requiring an upfront payment. Sometimes they may add a small fee for allowing you to pay out your balance over time. Filling a cavity in one tooth should not be that expensive anyway. My dentist charges about $60 per filling. Don't just get the tooth pulled, though, unless the dentist tells you that the tooth cannot be saved. It is sometimes (not always) cheaper to have it pulled but removing a permanent tooth can cause your other teeth to shift or bone deterioration in your jawbone where the tooth was removed, and especially at your age, you don't want that. Definitely let the dentist check it out and make a recommendation as to what you should do. Then make a decision based on what you can afford.

dental insurance question, please help!?
I have an impacted wisdom tooth trying to come in, and I have braces. If i dont get this tooth out, it will ruin my straight teeth thats taken 4 YEARS to accomplish. I have no insurance, because I recently got dropped off my moms policy. A lot of insurance companies ive called do not offer insurance right away, you have to wait a month or so before its "effective". Does anybody know of a good company I can go through that i will not have to "wait" for. Please help, i dont have a lot of time to wait, and my wisdom tooth is KILLING me.:(

Don't worry about your braces because nothing will happen to your braces because of wisdom tooth eruption . getting removed wisdom tooth is a surgical procedure so you can approach dentist &tell him about this,so that they can plan to remove tooth surgically ,for that u need to get admitted ,which will cover the insurance

No dental insurance afterall, am I in trouble?
I am currently working at a hospital a total of 20 hours a week. You need to work at least 24 hours a week to be elidegable for insurance. My boss said that I would be getting "more hours soon" so I called the hospital and they sent me the paper work for the insurance. Shortly after, I had a root canal done. This root canal cost $807. No crown. I told him about my situation and he said he would hold off on charging me and would see if the insurance would cover it in a few months. Well, the insurance didn't go through after all and I am stuck with the bill which I am hoping my family will help me with. Can I get in trouble for any of this? I am only asking because the secretary keeps calling me and she sounds mean. :-( She doesn't understand what it's like to be a poor college student.
--------------------
Well, you're going to have to pay. So what does "get in trouble" mean? If you don't pay the bill, eventually they'll send it to collections, and get a judgement against you. Then they'll be able to collect interest, too, and get an attachment against any wages - current OR future.

Help! I need dental insurance immediately?
i need some asap. but i am unemployed and don't have the funds to pay. I live in Chicago. Can anyone help. any suggestions would be good.

Hello..Ok, first, your not going to get immediate dental insurance that will pay for dental services anytime soon...So..what you need to do is call the "Out Patient Clinic" of the nearest Dental School. That Clinic provides dental services to the public and the fee will be between FREE and very low depending on your financial status. Good luck and I wish you well. The Denture Pro.

Will dental insurance or california dental plans cover the removal of my braces?
I was wondering if a california dental plan will cover the cost of getting my braces removed. I got them put on last year around July or August and they've only been tightened 2 to 3 times within those months. My mom stopped paying for them because she couldn't afford the monthly anymore and so I want them off now. I can't get them removed at Western Dental, where I originally got them put on because my mom now owes $2,000 plus there. My account there has been sent somewhere else. I went to an orthodontist a few days ago to find out the price of having my braces removed and the cost is around $350. My mom can't even afford that because she doesn't have a job nor does my dad. We aren't currently recieving cash aid because my dad has been recieving cash for unemployment but he stopped getting that this month too. Anyways, with the amount my dad got,$1,000 or less,we still did not have enough to pay for the removal of my braces because there were bills to pay and payment for house rental. Since none of my parents have jobs, will california dental plans cover the cost of the removal of my braces? I really want them off for they have been bothering me for a long time.
