After my recent dental hygienist visit I was told my insurance is no longer in network. The practice had apparently emailed all impacted patients 6 months ago. I don't seem to have received an email although I get all their other emails including weather related closures etc.
They recently tried to charge me for a "late cancellation". Their cancellation policy states 24 hours and I had given them 1 week's notice. After speaking with a receptionist who acted like she was doing me a huge favor, I had this charge canceled.
The out of network fee my insurance covers is about half of what the practice charges. I feel blindsided. Part of me just wants to move on from this practice and consider this a part of life etc. Part of me wonders if I have a voice in this at all. WWYD?
