Soooo...this just happened. My office manager came to me and said, “You just got $50 for a resin and sealant. What do you want to do?”
That barely covers my costs. I still don't know what to think except that I really, really despise insurance companies!
Readers, I hope you have insight that I don't have, so that I don't, quite literally, give my services away. The games we play with dental insurance companies—how do we handle these? Please let me hear from you.
Just keeping it raw, real, and honest...
