Can I obtain insurance rate on fees charged by dentist

[JDD]

I currently have a dental policy costing me $23 a month for my 7-year-old daughter, which only pays $1,000. I can afford to pay my daughter’s dental needs, but the advantage of the insurance is the lower rates. Is there any reason a dentist couldn’t agree to bill me at the rates the insurance companies pay, which is roughly 30% less than what the dentists charge private patients without insurance? The way it is now, I roughly break even on the insurance -- the lower rates roughly pay me back the cost of the insurance.

Thanks for any help that can be given.

"Definitely"

Please tell me how. My pediatric dentist and my regular adult dentist refuse to do so.

Actually some dentist offer the amount nearer to not exactly same to insurance company. You can try anywhere else.
