Hi all,
I didn't see a dentist for the past year due to Covid. I had really bad pain a couple weeks ago and decided I needed to see a dentist. My usual dentist was not available so I saw a new one and I found out I needed a root canal and three fillings. So after I did the root canal, I went to see a new dentist that was recommended because she was apparently really great with crowns and taught dentistry at the local university.
So I go to the new dentist to do the crown and the three fillings. I gave my insurance on a Saturday with my appointment being Monday and I wanted to know what the quote was. They said they couldn't check Delta Dental over the weekend to see how much I still had for my dental benefits. I go on Monday and then they tell me that my annual limit was used up and that it would cost $1,500 for the crown. Since I was there, I decided to just pay it and get it done.
Now for the three fillings I made an appointment for next Tuesday. I asked for the quote on my visit this past Monday and they said they would get back to me. My money is tied in my HSA investment account so I need to know how much to transfer it to my regular HSA account.
I called them yesterday and today to get the quote and they still have not gotten back to me. I have a suspicion they don't want to give me the price in case I cancel. But I wanted to check with the sub and see if this is normal. I'm a little annoyed that I've waited this long and I think it's kind of shady they aren't giving me a quote.
Thanks in advance for any help.
