Why is it so many dentist are not that way? They demand payment up front before any services are rendered. Oh, they will gladly bill the insurance for you, so you will receive a reimbursement. Well shucks, that sounds great. Except, I pay a chunk of my paycheck every week so that I don't have to have $600.00 laying around to pay a dentist.
I called a dentist today because I've got a filling that may have come loose. (All I know is the sucker hurts) I was all set to go see them when they laid on me that I would be expected to pay up front. The filling alone, depending on size, was going to be $150 to $200. Then there was the office visit charge as well. It's no wonder so many people have teeth problems. No one can afford to go.
I just hope I can find a good dentist that knows how insurance is supposed to be handled.
End of rant.
