      That's what happened to me at ******* Smiles Dentistry. There are so many of these offices operating in ********** that are doing the same thing. They all have to SmileGeneration logo and it's like a huge spider web. SCAN Delta Dental ******** Advantage is investigating it. There is so much fraud everywhere! The sad part is that my dental hygienist and my actual General Dentist is so sweet and she just got out of school. She's really good and I hate to see her caught ** in this organized scam. They have overcharged me and I am asking to be reimbursed for the amount and they are going to have to reimburse me at least $2900 for the procedures. Everything I have been reading is their Modus Operendai to get you in the chair. They didn't even give me my Delta Dental pre-authorization for services. They didn't go over cost before I agreed to the procedures. They didn't say anything about my insurance. They just had me paying the guarantor fee of $1,000. My Chart says I owe $2210.56 and on the billing I received, they show my insurance only paid $1361.00 for 2 small procedures and Delta Dental said they were not advised before the services were performed. They said I exhausted my yearly coverage and said that I needed to pay for the remaining. The total bill for 2 root canals and deep cleaning, cerec crowns and onlays is $7,057.50. I have paid $4308.25 in Initial Guarantor Arrangement payment, a MyChart payment, another guarantor payment, and a Wellfit (DBA SmartPay) payment (which says ***** card (LOCKBOX). The total amount they told me was $8,000 and they have a dollar amount of $7,057.50 - $4,308.25 (out of pocket payment to them) = a balance of $2749.50. Then they put adjustments $59.50 must be that special they put on their windows for cleaning and xrays. They did not offer me options on the crowns and they Root canal itself cost ******* and said that the discount was ****** and they billed it to me. Has anyone researched for class action lawsuit. I am. That is sure.
