Wisdom teeth out. told dentist would take care of insur. bill sent 2med ins not dental claim denied. what 2 do

I was told by the oral surgen office that they would decifer who would pay for more coverage dental or medical insurance. Come to find out they went with my medical insurance. They told me that my balance was $410, and insurance would pay the rest. I paid that. Then I get a bill saying that the claim was denied due to not being refered by my primary care physcian, and I owe the remainder of the balance: $2400.00. What are my options. I was refered by my delta dental dentist, do I demand that they chase them down. I am not paying this. My teeth were not hurting, but though that it would be a good preventitive measure.
--------------------
have the oral surgeons office file the claim with delta. if they were going to submit to your medical, they would have been responsible to get a referral from your pcp. if they won't submit to delta call delta and explain the situation to them. i think they filed incorrectly. i work in a dental office doing the ins. I would NEVER file a claim with someones medical. good luck
