Called to get an appointment, was in a LOT of pain and my regular DDS stated I needed a root canal.
Woman calls back a few days later, tells me they can get me in for a "consult". But she can't get me in for 2 weeks. Will get me in if there is a cancellation.
She called the next day. I couldn't make it. We did "discuss" my consult. I assured her any other day was good.
She called. They can fit me in Monday, but they need $80 from me. "Don't you file with my insurance?" "Yes we do but"
I called MetLife to make sure this "consult" was covered, mentioned that Dr Loftis wanted $80 from me PLUS what they were paying. "What? What for? For a consult?" I'm a retired RN and I can't answer WHY they want $80+ the amount from MetLife.
The Rep figures out my Deductible: "No, for a Consult & Plan of Care, we allow $85, you should only be paying $7 Have them call us".
$80 to talk to any medical professional on my plans is a Scam. The Rep suggested a different DDS, He's RIGHT! read more
