One of the problems is that most dentists charge a different price for the same service to every patient. They charge one price for cash and the other prices typically depend on the price he/she agrees to charge when associated with each insurance carrier. If my insurance carrier agrees to accept a charge for 70.00 for a filling then he will charge me 70.00 plus my deductible. If you have the same service done but your insurance carrier agrees on an acceptable cost of 75.00 then he will charge you 75.00 plus your deductible for the same procedure.
