Yeah, they made sure and strategically bill them so as to get every dollar of coverage I had in it.

Seems to be the move. Open a questionable practice, burn a whole bunch of people, bill the insurance companies, get out.

Shesus. You better go in, man, even for just a cleaning. Could have root stuff going on... by the time you feel "pain" it could already be causing heart damage and other things.

Sounds about right.

On the plus side, it's super cheap here. It cost a few hundred after all was said and done, meds included.

For me, the whole procedure was about $2100-$2300 -- the root canal and crown, with an extra billable "day" in there somewhere. Insurance paid all but about $500, but literally they made sure and bill my insurance down to the last dollar of yearly coverage.
