The submitted $ amt charged was still higher than my portion paid PLUS the insurance provider's amt that they were willing to pay for, but I have not yet been billed from the dentist for that excess amount. I was told that because the doctor is an "in network" service provider, he has generally agreed to accepting just what the insurance company views as "standard", thus the amounts listed below for the procedure cost were all that I incurred. It was good with Essex Dental insurance in this case, my first experience. Plus this doctor's method for root canals prooved 100% painless, quick and efficient. Great actually!
