To Much coverage

[kbrews]

I live in California and I had three dentals plans - one was a HMO two were PPO's - I had a very expensive dental treatment done and the dentist said that one of the ppo's do not cover that procedure and that I would have to pay the difference from the HMO - so I agreed my out of pocket would be $1,000 - I had the work done and then received a statement from the PPO that stated it would have covered the expense but I meet my limit for the year. I could have waited two months for this procedure and then this expense would have been covered but the dentist lied to me and said it was not covered and I would have to pay. Do you think I should fight this and not pay since I was lied to

For openers, I'd tell the dentist that you'll only pay what the insurance would not have covered.
