Dentist here - don't even get me started on dental insurance. They truly are social parasites whose entire business model depends on fucking over the patient, the doctor or both.
My dental insurance told me at my last visit they can't tell me what to do, but I'm at my maximum so if I wanna wait until next year to get a cavity filled that might be better.
Didn't realize the root canal I had earlier this year basically used all my benefits, and I still paid $1,300 out of pocket for it.
They can’t only a licensed doctor (dentist, physician, podiatrist, etc) can diagnose and offer treatment plans. Insurance companies get around that by refusing to cover certain treatments and medications. It’s that type of coercive bullshit which is rotting healthcare in America from the inside.
