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.

If you have dental insurance call the insurance company and explain the problem to them and have the dentist office send them the bill, and if you have paid anything yet, they should reimburse you.
