zestfiveToday the boy had an orthodontist appointment and then a dentist appointment. At the ortho, they decided to try an new retainer on the top$100. I called his Dad because he had a fit the last time I took him to the dentist and paid for his fillings and asked for reimbursement for my payments. I called him to let him know and he started having a fit saying with his new dental coverage, I should call around to find the best deal for this new coverage and etc. HELLO, WTF? Doesn't he realized that the ortho is part of a package that we already paid for and if we switched it would cost more money for new patient stuff and etc. Turns out that he believes that I took the boy to the dentist, he had fillings and I paid the estimated amount that the dentist believed that I would have to pay before insurance covered it (which I submitted to him for splitting) and once the insurance went through was reimbursed for more money. This is not true. What a pain in the butt. Now, I'll have to mail him copies of the bill, wait 30 days if he doesn't pay me, I've got a 60 day window where I'll have to file paperwork with the county that is noterized so the county can go after the medical reimbursement. UGH!
Oh, yeah and the ortho also gave us a referral to have his wisdom teeth pulled!
Now we've got a new appointment for his wisdom teeth to be pulled next month. Hopefully his stupid father will calm down at some point to see how that will all play out. I called around to the various dental and medical insurance companies, made the appointment and it should cost out of pocket no more than $450-600. This will make his father blow his top, he (as far as I know) spends all of his money as soon as he gets it, rarely has any savings. I'm sure I'll have to submit this bill to the county too.
I feel sorry for the boy to have to deal with all of this. Although, I'm glad that he's getting his wisdom teeth out now when he's covered by insurance and his parents will pay for it. I had mine out only when they were surfacing and giving me headaches, but I had to wait a bit before the dental insurance kicked in. His Dad had his taken out during surgery after he had his jaw broken.
I also feel sorry for the boy because I think he feels bad that he's going to cost his Dad money. He probably feels bad that it's going to be so "hard" on him. I'm not happy that I've got to spend the money but it's really not THAT much and I'm glad that the boy will have it taken care of. Although, isn't 15 a bit young to get them out?
Don't you remember his poor father who took him while we were on vacation but he was so "poor" that I had to give him $50 for food for the week(he intially asked for $100!~when we were married, I kept us fed on $150 a month for all three of us!)
