My dental insurance requires a Pre-Treatment Estimate. The dentist and I get a paper confirming they will pay, and how much. The dentist accepts a reduced amount as the 'privilege' of accepting that insurance. An example: Cash for an implanted molar- $5,000. Insurance offers $3,500 and the patient pays 1/2 of the $3,500- not 1/2 of the $5,000.
