[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 514402, member: 1233"] Donna, we DID have reg medication insurance AND dental insurance. Our medical would not cover one penny of the costs. The school's insurance refused to pay also. I was just shocked when the dentist upped the price because he heard me ask my mom to help with the bill and thought he could get more money. I then spoke with the dental ins co and they said that he would get a much lower sum and he had a contract saying he couldn't charge us more. We didn't need the $ from my mom after we put the contract on the table and threatened to get a class action suit together. He ended up in a LOT of trouble because I reported this and he was audited by several different groups - the state, several ins co's, even a fraud complaint was investigated. I didn't find out the results of the investigations - just knowing he was audited and investigated was enough for me. Thanks though, Donna, for suggesting that we try our health insurance. At the tme I posted here about it and someone suggested to try our medical insurance and to call the dental insurance co. otherwise I would NOT have known to fight his prices. Did you know that while reg eye exams are not covered on health insurance, some eye problems ARE? If you have to see an opthalmologist (eye doctor with an MD) and it is for more than an exam for glasses/contacts, often your reg medical insurance will cover the whole visit. Not any corrective lenses for glasses/contacts, but for the exams and any medical treatments. [/QUOTE]
