My dentist is billing me for something he didnt do! What can I do about this?!


Question: My dentist is billing me for something he didnt do! What can I do about this!?
Ok well I went in on 3/5/08 to get some work done, I had a cavity on tooth number 8, I had a cavity on that one, so I got it filled and I got billed for Resin two surfaces anterior $126!.00 then on the same tooth another bill for Resin one surface anterior $100!.00, on tooth #9 there was nothing wrong with it and I got billed Resin one surface anterior $100!.00!. When I got my estimate before anything got done they werent going to bill me for the lemon etch on teeth 8&9!. Well now I get a bill saying that (above) I spoke to the billing person and she said she would have to speak to the Dr!. and see if he remembers, hello this was like two months ago!! I only got lemon etch and as I have been told and it was on my estimate too, there is no charge!. So is there anything else I can do about this, they have xrays, I owe $200 for something that shouldnt be charged!. What can I do!!!!! please im upset!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Calm down!. Take it up with your dentist!. I am sure he can explain it to you or maybe they simply made a mistake!. That happens!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Could be human error in the billing office, right!? We all make mistakes!.

Nonetheless, stick to your guns!. If you were told by your DDS certain things were no charge, then they should be no charge!.

If it can't be resolved I suppose you could call the better business bureau for advice!?!?

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

TALK TO THE DOCTOR AND MENTION THAT YOU WANT AN EXPLANATION OF THE REASON FOR THE BILL!. IF YOU THINK THIS IS WRONG AND HE WON'T RESOLVE THIS TAKE HIM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT!. BELIEVE ME, HE DOESN'T WANT THIS EXPOSURE AND THE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY IT CREATES!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can't help you but I can empathize with you I had a top incisor with a post and full crown with came loose!. I went to the dentist to have it re-glued!. He took the drill to clean out the hole in the root for the post!. He told me the root could not be saved I was shocked but he's the Doctor - right so he said the root had to go and I needed a bridge 1,000!.00 dollars what am I to do it's a front tooth!. So when the root was remove I saw he had drilled crooked and the drill came out the side of the root I asked to keep the root and he said yea sure and he proceeded to drill out the center to a bore the would not accept the post to cover his a** By the time I saw what he was doing it was to late!. I did get some justice because I threatened to go to the county paper about what happen and caused such a stir in his office they( the dental group) let him go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
