When a primary insurance payer pays 0 on a 1000 bill and a secondary pays 700 with a 700 contracted amount do you have to pay the difference 300?
With out a doubt...yes. Unless your dentist is a contracted provider through your insurance company, in that case they might have to adjust your account to what the contracted (allowed) fee is per the insurance company. If they are not a contracted provider they don't have to adjust one dime!
