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.
