I am rejecting this response because:I called the provided number two days ago and did not receive a return call. I've already had enough time wasted with your company. You have my contact information, I suggest you use it.
Please be prepared when you call. Has there been any work toward my sons account? Did you apply the insurance that I provided to you now three times? Has the bill been applied to insurance?

I am writing to report an unresolved refund related to dental services received on March 5, 2025 ($130.40) and March 14, 2025 ($171.20). Both visits were paid using an HSA card administered by ****. Upon submitting the required documentation to Voya, I was informed that a portion of the charges lacks supporting documentation, leading to the discovery of an overcharge.I first contacted the office on April 3, 2025, and was advised that the refund would be processed within 46 weeks. Since then, I have followed up multiple times:April 24: They informed that the refund request was initiated on April 18.May 2: I was told the refund would be processed during that week.May 7: I was told the refund was initiated on April 22, and it would take 46 weeks from that ******* of today, no refund has been issued. Furthermore, **** has notified me that unless the funds are reimbursed, they may freeze access to my HSA account, which would directly impact my ability to cover ongoing healthcare needs.Business Response

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the care my son received at SAGE Dental. Scheduling was frustratingit took 19 calls to reach someone who spoke clear English, causing significant delays. At the office, the technician struggled to take over 32 X-rays, raising serious concerns about excessive radiation and poor-quality images. After a 90+ minute delay focused mostly on payment, staff pressured my son to return for a cleaning that should have been included. The cleaning was rushed, lasted less than 10 minutes, was insufficient, yet we were still charged.His appointment started at 2 p.m. but lasted past 5 p.m., causing missed classes and $50 in **** costs. The visit felt like a sales pitch for future procedures and payment plans rather than proper care. We now must pay for new X-rays and a proper cleaning elsewhere.Follow-up communication was poor. I called to request records transfer and spoke with a staff member who repeatedly placed me on hold, sent the release form to the wrong number twice, and disconnected abruptly. Despite stressing urgency for an appointment during Easter break, I was told it could take 48 hours, causing us to miss the opportunity. My own dentist transferred records in under two minutes.A qualified new dentist found no cavities and was alarmed by the excessive, poor-quality X-rays and unnecessary radiation exposure. The Sage technician seemed inexperienced. The diagnosis of needing a root canal and crown was false and caused unnecessary fear.This experience was costly, stressful, and unprofessional. My son spent over three hours at ****, missed classes, paid for transportation, and now we face additional expenses for proper care. Over 30 emails requesting a refund have gone unanswered. Given the poor care, excessive wait, billing pressure, and lack of professionalism, I request a full refund of $443 ($158 + $285), which is unjustified. I hoped for a quick, fair resolution, but it has not been offered.Business Response

More info to back up how much they tried to scare my son with a $4577.00 bill and the new dentist I took him to said he does not have ONE CAVITY !!!!!!Business Response
Date: 06/06/2025
The patient did not express any dissatisfaction during the cleaning or at any point during the visit. However, the following day, the adult patients mother contacted the office requesting a full refund for services rendered. She alleged that the cleaning provided was below the standard of care and stated that they had decided to seek treatment at another dental office. **** requested a ledger showing the care and associated costs to consider the requested refund; however, **** have no record of the parent full filling the request. As a gesture of goodwill, the District Manager offered to refund the ************** fee. However, our records indicate that no payment was made by either the patient or the parent for this service.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:This response is NOT correct. My son's experience at Sage Dental was unacceptable and unprofessional, and he did not know how to speak up but was calling me and texting me the entire time saying that the X ray technician was inexperienced and incompetent. My son was EXTREMELY disappointed with this visit, AND they scared him into thinking that he needed a ROOT CANAL AND A CROWN- look at the estimate they quoted- it is INSANITY!!! This is a money making business that does NOT care about the patient's oral health one bit. It was all about money and scare tactics. It should not matter how much I was charged at the new office we went to, that is irrelevant. I am STILL getting bills from **** and have spent hours and hours trying to fight for this $443 I have already paid that was unwarranted for the services received that day. The staff was more focused on processing payment, rather than providing timely care. The visit felt more like a sales pitch for future services and payment plans than an actual dental appointment. This entire experience was disappointing and, frankly, felt like a scam. My son missed his classes that afternoon bc they still had him there in the office 3 hours later!! Past 5 pm and he had to uber there and back ($25 each way that I will never recoup= $50). I entrusted Sage Dental with my sons care and was met with disorganization, pressure sales tactics, and substandard treatment. Given the lack of service and the unprofessional handling of this visit, I am requesting a full refund of the $443 paid ($158 + $285), a figure that is completely unjustified given the poor quality of care, the excessive wait time, and the lack of professionalism throughout the visit.

Hello, and thank you for your attention to this matter.
Unfortunately, this response is not acceptable. I have invested an unreasonable amount of time trying to resolve this, and I am formally requesting a full refund for what was a completely unacceptable experience. My son was subjected to excessive radiation, unnecessary stress, and lost hours of his day including missed classes and over $50 in **** expenses due entirely to this offices disorganization and negligence.
I had to immediately take my son elsewhere for a proper cleaning and exam because he was frightened by **** staffs suggestion that he needed a root canal and crown on a tooth that did not even have a cavity. This is not just a mistake it borders on malpractice.
Not only should this visit be fully refunded, but I am seeking additional compensation for:
The cost of follow-up care at a professional dental office
Transportation costs
The time and stress this situation has caused
Additionally, I just now received a copy of the ledger for the first time and it still reflects an outdated address, despite my having requested it be updated multiple times.
At present, I am still out nearly $300 for a visit that yielded nothing of value and instead put my sons health and well-being at risk. This is completely unacceptable.
I urge you to carefully re-read my original letter.
Thank youCustomer Answer

The most troubling part of all this is that **** tried to pressure my son with a potential $4,577 bill (see attached). Why would any provider do this? It feels entirely profit-driven. They led him to believe he needed a root canal and a crownwhen he didnt even have a cavity. How is something like this even allowed to happenCustomer Answer

I paid for an internal tooth whitening of tooth number 8 which I was told would need at least two whitening treatments that will take several appointments. That I had to pay it all upfront before I could ever book an appointment. I did pay for the procedure upfront. I scheduled & attended the first appointment. I was told to come back in a week for the second session. The following week when I arrived & saw the dentist he said the second treatment is not needed the tooth is white enough to match my other teeth. I agreed. However when I asked the office manager about my refund for the second treatment that was not needed she said no I will not get a refund. That the money will just stay there in case I need to see the dentist again. I said no thanks I want the difference of the money I paid back. She said the dentist will have to agree to that & that I have to ask him for it. I told her I dont understand why, the dentist didnt give me the price of the treatment plan that was you. She said I had to make an appointment that they will then have to charge me for to see him to ask for the difference of my money back. And now I am receiving bills in the mail from Sage Dental for what I already paid for. I have all my receipts. I have called the office and corporate many times and have had the issue escalated and emails have been sent and yet nothing has been fixed.Business Response

Since December of 2024, I have been seeking dental services with Sage Dental. They have repeatedly dragged out my services-we were supposed to be finished in February. It is now almost June. They have continued charging Care credit for services that have not been completed yet. When I ask about it- they can not communicate their reasoning. Every time I walk into their office, I leave in worse shape than I came in. They schedule appointments for me, I arrive and they do not have my crown/temporary crown etc ready.They have given me a temporary crown that didnt even last 24 hours. Refused to return my call. The dentist is unprofessional and non-responsive. Ive asked multiple times to be moved to a different location- they said I can not. The receptionist has been nothing but unhelpful and rude since the very beginning. This location is a joke-I feel terrible for the number of people who have to use them as dentist. They have over spent my insurance and under delivered in every single aspect. I belive because I am using government provided insurance and care credit they are taking full advantage of the system and trying to spend as much money possible. They are a scam.Business Response

I was evaluated by the dentist in the ************************** on a Tuesday, and was told that I would need to have an emergency root canal completed by Friday and get the temporary crown placed the following Monday. They scheduled me the appointment for both the consult and root canal procedure at *************** on Friday.After waiting 2 hours past my appointment time, I was told that I was only scheduled for the consult and not the root canal procedure, even though I showed the confirmation email stating that I was scheduled for both. I was told I could not get the procedure done on this day and to rebook.When I called to cancel my appointment for the temporary crown at the ****************** due to not having the procedure done, they were apologetic and ensured me that I would be scheduled to have the root canal procedure completed at the ********** office on Wednesday, 5/21 at 3pm and then I could get the temporary crown placed immediately after (4pm) at the ******************. I accepted this and scheduled both.Then, I received a call from the ***************** today stating that I was only scheduled for a consult and would be unable to get the root canal procedure completed, yet again. I explained the situation and the office staff stated there was nothing they could do. I asked to speak with an office manager, to which I was declined.I called back the ****************** to, again, cancel my temporary crown appointment as the procedure would not be getting completed. I asked to speak with an office manager at this location to discuss the situation, to which I was declined again.This is absolutely outrageous as I am in immense pain and was scheduled twice now for a root canal and was told I was unable to get it completed due to being double booked or not having appointments available, although I had proof of confirmation that I was scheduled for these appointments.I am requesting a refund of my X-ray spending so I can get this completed elsewhereBusiness Response

I had multipke dental procedures done with this business beginning in October through the beginning of January 2025. My dental insurance settled the final claim on Feb 25, 2025. In the process of this I had been told by the office manager of my local office (******) that I had a credit on my account (this was in January 25) I then requested a refund of that on January 20th 2025. I understand that they needed to wait until all claims processed though my dental insurance which happened on Feb 25th 2025 per my dental insurance and they are not waiting on anything and everything is settled with them and has been. I have since contacted the corporate office and there again has fallen on deaf ears saying they are going to escalate my request for my refund and that was the beginning of April and I still have heard nothing. It does not take over almost 150 days to process a refund after multiple requests for it.Business Response

Please note that our office is currently in communication with the patients insurance provider regarding their denture coverage.
At the time of benefit verification, the policy breakdown provided by the insurer did not indicate any limitations related to denture frequency. Based on that information, we proceeded with the denture process under the understanding that the treatment would be covered.
We are now working directly with the insurance company to seek clarification and resolution. We kindly ask for your patience as we await their official response.
For your reference, please see the attached benefit breakdown as originally provided by the insurance company.
Thank you for your understanding.Customer Answer

I went in for an adjustment of the bottom denture. They said what I like new dentures I said I have two more years before I can get dentures and the doctor proceeded to tell me oh no we'll get it for you don't worry I said they're not going to approve it she says yes we'll get it it's not a problem they came to me with the paperwork and I continuously said I pay nothing and she said yes you're not going to pay a thing and then they gave me a bill. They also suggested I call ******** to see if they cover ******** said no they don't and I told them that. I went to the office numerous times and the woman kept making up stories that you would help me and it's okay don't worry about it we can do a payment plan and I told her I'm on Social Security I can't do a payment plan. I called you Nana and your mama said that sage Dental does this all the time. I continuously get bills. I received the bill under my door with no stamp on it which means they came to my house and put it under my door.Customer Answer

Ioriginally went in there for an adjustment of my bottom dentures. I keep telling Sage dental that I have 2 yrs left before I can get new dentures. I also explained to them if there is a cost I cannot pay it I'm on a fixed income. Each time I went in for a fitting with the wax or with the Teeth, I would ask ,are you sure it's covered I only wanted an adjustment and Sage Dental Stated The Dentures needed to be replaced.They continue to say they will be no cost don't worry about it we'll take care of it. The day I went in for the final fitting I was stopped at the front desk and told before I can do the fitting I need to pay the bill. I asked the receptionist why didn't you contact me before this day.Her answer was " We just received the denial from your insurance.

There are no incorrect items from Humana that is not true. All the files are correct. I didn't file the complaint to get the teeth free I want Sage Dental that their work ethics and the way they filed with ****** was wrong. It was never approved to make those teeth. All I want is to them to stop bothering me with payment because I cannot pay for it. I am a senior on a fixed income and I told them that from the beginning and I told them if Humana didn't cover it I could not cover it myself.
