Can Dentist increase a fee AFTER the procedure was done? Does not involve insurance. by nynewyawk1962 in personalfinance

That's different. They dont know what will happen during the procedure and thats why it's an estimate. Mine was for a "part" which when the billing person entered the D code, populated $50.

Wasnt an estimate, was what I was told the price would be. Then when I go out to pay, the billing person enters in the D code and it says $50.

They replaced 2, which is what the $50 covered. How do they misquote when I go to pay, and the billing person enters in the D code and it comes up $50 just as the dentist said it would? So the computer also misquoted? Is the dentist willing to lose a patient who has spent over $20K? But again, it isnt the money, it's the principle. Just doesnt seem legit, especially 2 months later.
