What do you do if a dentist charges you an 'insurance filing fee' but your dental insurance contract says they can't?

Show the dentist in your contract where it says they can't. If it solves it, great. If not, you need to call and talk to your insurance and see what they say for you to do. You may need to find another dentist if it becomes too much of a hassle or talk to a lawyer. Whichever you choose. Dont pay your dentist, tell him or her to take it up with the insurance companie. Bring your contract in to your dentist. It may be an honest mistake. With SO MANY different policies out there, no dental staff can know and remember them all. If your claim isn't paid in a timely manner, and your dentist does have to re-file with the insurance company, call your insurer and get on their case! The insurance company sure wants their premiums on time, so you should expect them to pay your dental claims on time. Unless the dentist is a preferred provider for your insurance company, they can charge a fee. It doesn't make any difference what your insurance contract says. If you have gone to a doctor out of network, you have no recourse. To use your dental insurance in your best interest, you must go to a preferred provider. A preferred provider is someone who has signed a contract with a specific insurance company indicating they will follow the "rules" of that company and accept the fee schedule. If your dentist has charged for a insurance filing fee, notify the insurance carrier. It is written in the dentist contract with the carrier that fees for filing claims should be not be charged. Get a rep from the insurance company to call and notify the doctor if they are participating in your plan. Alot of the time the office staff can not remember all of the policies. If there is a timely filing deadline on the plan and the insurance company has told you that it has not been received see if they can provide you with a fax number. If the timely filing deadline has expired and the dentist can provide proof that they have filed the claim several time the insurance carrier can accept that and will process the claim when received. If the provider can not show proof that the claim has been filed during the timley filing period normally the insurance carrier does not hold the patient responsible for the charge. Especially if the dentist is a participating provider. Please read you explaination of benefits. It states it there or contact you ins carrier.

Do I understand correctly that Los Algodones Mexico is free of drug cartel problems because it's just a small town of 4000 people with a large number of dentists pharmacies and opticians any comment?

Well I do not think it can ever be completely free just as American cities will never be totally free of violence. It definitely is one of the safest areas. Its location is what helps it. It is sort of out in the middle of nowhere on the US side, only a Native American reservation borders it. There are not any major highways that go to it. Drug cartels just do not find it to be a convenient place to do their craft. I have been there at least 20 times over the past 5 years and I have never seen a problem. It is a small, quaint little town full of pharmacies and dentists. It even has an eye glasses place where you can get really cheap quality glasses and a veterinarian that can give good quality and cheap veterinary care to your dog. It is a pretty good place.

How do you find a good dentist in Nuevo Laredo Mexico?

Dental care abroad If you go abroad for dental care: -- Check with the appropriate government agency in the destination country about its national dentistry guidelines. -- Find out what recourse is available if something goes wrong. -- At the dental office, look for infection-control procedures, including instrument sterilization and use of protective gloves, mask and eyewear. -- A traveler's guide to dental care is available through the Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures at www.osap.org. Source: American Dental Association. Why is dental cheaper in Mexico? - lower operating costs, dentists are not required have malpractice insurance, dentists are less advanced and use less expensive technology and infection control procedures. Dental treatment performed abroad although less expensive, also carries an increased number of associated complications and risks. Travel, Dental Care and Dental Tourism There is a growing phenomena called "Dental Tourism" in which people travel to a destination that offers less expensive dental care. The decision to visit another country for dental care should go beyond simply comparing prices or even evaluating the dentists' expertise. Countries differ in their standards for infection control and safety. The use of fresh gloves, sterile instruments and safe water are not standard practice in all countries. Without these precautions, patients could be infected with diseases such as hepatitis B. Before considering such trips, it is important to be prepared by using information such as that contained in OSAP's Traveler's Guide. Additional information may be obtained at www.ada.org, www.iamat.org and www.adse.co.uk.
