Hey guys I'd like some opinions on how to best resolve this issue I may be having with my dentist as this is my first corporate job with insurance and I'm not sure how to deal with this situation I'm in...
1) General dentist refers me to specialist to get something looked at.
2) I go to see specialist for an exam and then go back to have treatment done.
3) I verify before that a) the specialist is in-network b) ensure coverage after arriving for exam c) operation is covered under the insurance
4) I receive a bill that covers said operation under terms of insurance. However, now it turns out that I'm only covered for one exam every 6 months under the insurance and I'm being charged another $180 for the exam with the specialist. This was not indicated at all to me.
So what's the best way to deal with the situation? I feel that this is a bit unfair as I'm being charged after the fact without being informed of it beforehand.
