Health insurance/dental rut. please help?
Sweetbulbs asked:
I recently been laid off from my employer so I no longer have health insurance. But a few months ago, I paid my dentist $600 for a full year of cleaning and examination while I had health insurance. I have an appointment with the dentist tomorrow and now the dental office is demanding that I pay $140 for the examination tommorrow(they found out I no longer have insurance). I explained to the receptionist that I simply can not afford that, so she reduced the cost to $40. I am confused, shouldn’t they honor our prepaid plan? Is what they are doing legal? Can I get my money back for the unused portion?? Please help.

I am not sure, but that does sound fishy! But I know where you can get a great discount dental plan, Plus they have an awesome work from home opportunity.
The dental plan you can save up to 80% on all dental procedures. You also get vision,prescription,chiropractic benefits at no additional charge.When you sing up, you can use your benefits the same day!! Check out the website, you can also look up the list of providers in your area at
If you are serious about being able to have a home based business you can call 712-432-9598 to listen to a brief overview call and then to go to request a phone interview.
This is an opportunity to own your own health care benefits company. Like any business there is an investment. But our investment is only $25 dollars and that promotion ends at the end of September. So take a look, listen to the call and make a financial change for good. Don’t stress or worry about losing a job or health benefits, since you are your own boss and you have your own benefits company.
Sounds like your dental office is willing to work with you on payment. $40 is not bad. But if you already paid bring in your receipt to clear this up. Without dental insurance you may want to look for alternatives. See connectingbenefits.com for a good dental plan.
