Please beware this dentist’s “$100.00 consultation deposit” trick!
The office only saying he charges $100.00 consultation fee, will refund it if the insurance company paid or let him do the full treatment, but they never mention he is charging total $210.00 for that consultation. So when you don’t want the treatment and even he received $175.00 from the insurance company for that consultation job, he still does not refund the full $100.00 deposited with reasoning that the fee is $210.00 and kept whatever the amount insurance company hadn’t pay.
Use the word “refundable $100.00 deposit” to bait as reasonable fee but never mention the total $210.00 charge.
