Dental Opinions, The Art of Negotiations
Even if you have dental insurance such as a PPO or Indemity dental insurance plan that pays a percentage of your dental bill(such as 50 percent of majors services like a crown). It can pay for you to talk to your dentist about charges. The more you can reduce the cost of services the less you will have to pay in the end yourself.
So the next time you are visiting your dentist, remember this advice, Many providers will often negotiate on price, but generally not if people do not ask. Dentists are used to negotiating. You can have the conversation up front, before the procedure. Alternatively, if you get the bill and believe the fee was excessive or can not afford it, you can try bargaining it down at that point.
