Dilemma
Today I took my son to his dentist appt, as I was waiting my son's dad had his girlfriend come up to pay his half of the visit ($10.00) and she explained that he worked late and is at home sleeping.
Okay I have a question.
He has insurance on my son...with a $150.00 deductible - he says that I have to pay the half of that. What I am wondering is how does that work. My son has another dentist appt in 6 weeks with a lot of work to get done so we would be using the dad's insurance (today we used mine).
My understanding is that if the amount of work to be done is more then the deductible there shouldn't be a bill or we have to pay that deductible before the work?
I am soo cunfused in all of this. Can someone please advise me on how this all works.
Also...Feb. of this year my son had work on some teeth (yes - I know sounds like I not doing my job right - he brushes twice daily, maybe he needs to improve - please no bad marks on me for that) and I had to pay $129.00 - which would have dad pay half ($64.50) to this date he has not paid - I know regardless of CS he still owes me that half. Im thinking of going to the Court and getting the order to show cause for not paying me that half.
I suggested to him that we can even it out if he goes ahead pays the deductible and I will pay the difference from what he owes me...that would leave me to pay $10.50. I'm not asking much, hoping we don't have to go to court over $64.50. If I had to go to court over that money and I finally got him from him I would apply that money anyway to the new dentist appt (that is if I can get the court done and over with before appt)
Then today I called his work for a booklet of insurance and she said that they don't have any - not even a office one. So I asked for the insurance's address which she gave and I will contact them for it. He expects me to use his insurance but won't give me one then won't even show up for his appt's. What does he expect his girlfriend to do all the running for him.
If you can answer anything it would be appreciated.
