So as the title states I am in a bit of a pickle. I am 21 years old I work a job making around $1800 a month and for healthcare I use my Father's and my step mom's. I recently went to the dentist for a root canal and when I got there they did the whole evaluate your coverage and give you the out of pocket price. I told them since I recently switched physicians my Step Mom's healthcare was locked out for 6 months. I also said my father's should pick up a lot of it. The price of the procedure was $2400. After waiting for awhile they came back with a quote saying that the insurance would cover everything and I need not to worry. I said great lets do this procedure and get me out of pain. So we did the root canal took about two hours. I left the dentist with pain pills and anti-antibiotics. This was roughly two weeks ago.
On my way to work this morning I got a call from my dentist's office saying I owe them $1200 dollars for the procedure. I freaked out and told them they need to look into this and give me a call back. If they call me tomorrow and tell me I owe them can I do anything? I live in Oregon US. Thanks for the help guys/gals!
