I posted a few weeks ago about going to a new dentist and being told both DH and I needed a deep cleaning. They run about 2K each but because we had such great insurance our out of pocket would be $40.00.
Well DH showed up to get half his mouth done today, and upon *leaving* was told it would be $500 today and another $500 tomorrow. He was not pleased and objected. Was told that he didn't feel out the insurance portion of the ap so the first figure was a "guess".
He didn't fill it out because he gave them his card, they photo-copied it and told him he could skip that section because they had all the necessary info.
We are fuming. I gave into going to this Dentist upon hearing that deep cleanings are common in our age group and that open exam rooms are now the norm.
But I am furious about the switch and bait. Any suggestions?
