This about the 3rd or 4th time I've heard such stories, and very similar, given quote, shown portion patient would owe, and then not until after the work, told insurance paid -0- and an added "late charge" added. Probably the answer is, take the dentist's own quote and detail of work, and contact the insurance company yourself ? Too late now, but a warning to others since this has happened to others here !
