NC- my dentist informed me that I needed a root canal on my perfect looking tooth (which he had filled a cavity on 2 months earlier) . he said the tooth had to heal for two weeks before the white porcelain crown could be put on and that the root canal procedure would have to be done in 2 separate appointments. i was laid off 1 week before my second appointment to complete the root canal.
when i went to my annual teeth-cleaning, the assistant informed me that the insurance company denied the second part of my root canal. she said the insurance company treated the root canal as 2 separate procedures-not as 1 procedure. I did not understand why this was not explained to me during the root canal. the dentist implied that the root canal was 1 procedure but just 2 separate appointments. this dental office is requesting me to pay this huge dental bill. what is my defense?
thank you in advance,
