Next time, get the low down on the costs first!
The FairHealth Consumer Cost Lookup, run by nonprofit group FAIR Health, will help you do that.
From root canals to MRIs, this site can give you an estimate as to what you might expect to pony up.
This site is free, super easy & quick to use - no registration required!
Here's what you do:
- Select either Medical or Dental
- Enter your Zip Code
- Indicate Insured or Uninsured
- Enter the CPT code (if you know it) or browse through a list of services/procedures
That's it! You now have the upper hand, which could cause you to confront your Doc as to if the procedure is absolutely necessary or just standard protocol.
Be informed!
