[ronss]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? az

i went to a dentist about 3 months ago, to get an estitmate on my teeth..he did not right away come out and tell me how much he charged, and told me i need to get exrays....get exrays before he tells me how much it will cost to fix my teeth? i just wanted to know how much a crown was, root cannal, etc....i did not come in his office to use my insurance , charge me a bill . i just wanted to find out how much he charged on his work....now i have a bill, and i fell like he took avantage of me...is there something i could do about this, i get a bill every month, what the insurance did not cover.

You can't expect to know what kind of work you need, OR how much it will cost, without being evaluated by the doctor. Pay your bill.

i did not what to know all the money that it would cost to fix my teeth, i just went there to find out how much his procedures where.....he sort of smooth talked me into taking the exams.. i feel angry about this

$45?

You got off really lightly.

And seriously, don't get any more procedures or exams done before you find out the cost.

you could have walked out but you did not so I guess you owe the outrageous sum of $45.

You consented to the exam. You need to pay the bill.

He essentially charged you a diagnostic fee. There is nothing illegal, unethical, improper, or unreasonable about that.

Why did the poster even post this thread? Maybe dental work is the least of his issues.
