Re: Dentist billing practices

the deductable is always YOURS TO BE paid, then you do owe the copayment and
the nitrous charge. it is legal and appropriate.

Please tell me what you think about this. Below is what my son's dentist
charged us and the resulting fees and insurance payments. Am I crazy or
am I
being charged twice for the $50 deductible?

Dentist charged $205 for a filling in my son's front tooth. The ins. co.
negotiated amount was $128, they deducted $50 for the deductible. So, $78
was the covered amount of which they paid $62.40 (80%) and we are
responsible
for $15.60 (20%). There was also a seperate charge on the bill for $50
which they later rebilled (to me) as deductable. (When they billed the
insurance company they coded it as an Unspecified Diagnostic Procedure)
And
the last charge on the bill was $45 for Nitrous Oxide. The insurance
company
denied benefits for the $50 and $45 charges.

So, as I see it we should pay $50 ded. + $15.60 + $45=$110.60, do you
agree?

Are they allowed to submit a seperate charge for the deductable?
