I've been to Jester Dental for a number of years and often wondered about some of the charges, now and then. It sometimes felt "odd" but I didn't question it knowing how funky insurance can be. However, recently, there were too many issues to ignore when I asked them to check on predetermined costs for needed crowns. Long story short, the "quote" kept going up each time I checked. For example, my portion was going to be $305 (per crown, I needed 3), a few weeks later, it was $349, then the actual day of the procedure, it was 2 remained at $349 and 1 was not going to be covered at all, so $1400 (please). I declined to have the procedure to go home and do my homework. Called the insurance company to find out this was not at all the case. The crown was going to be covered, according to the insurance company.
I called Jester back and all I got was, "not sure how that happened....blah, blah,...."
Stuff happens, but seriously????? This sounds and smells like unethical behavior and unprofessional practice.....You decide.
out of 5 stars
