Do I Have To Pay This Medical Bill?
Lat year I had a lot of dental work done. Total cost was to be about $3,000 and I was told my dental insurance would cover $950. I had the work done and paid the bill in full. Then a month later my dental insurance (MetLife) rejected the claim and only paid $115.00 leaving me with a balance due of $840.00 My dentist didn''t even suggest this could happen or that there was any risk of it possibly happening. I was basically told that my insurance would cover this much and how much I''d be responsible for and I made my decision to have the work done based upon that information. And I paid my part in full. As a result of doing the dental work in the first place I don''t have much money left, let alone $840. If I had known it was even a possibility I would have waited and probably decided NOT to do it. I really feel like I''m being taken advantage of by both my dentist and dental insurance provider. Seems like one hell of a scam to tell people they are covered say they are not then collect.
