Aspen Dental - Billings mistakes and won't give me my credit

On June 1, 2010, Aspen Dental charged my husband $348.00 for services that our insurance company was to pay because Aspen's computer had wrong info about what our insurance company would pay. I called Aspen immediately and they verified everything I said that was suppose to be covered was correct since they called our insurance company. At that point, they would not cancel the charge. Instead they submitted a new claim to our insurance company and the insurance paid them $200.00 nine days later. It has been 7 weeks and Aspen Dental still has not re-imbursed us our $200.00 credit. Every time I call them, they are very lax about the whole situation. Needless to say, we won't be going there again. Time for a new dentist.

OMG I am going through the same thing with Aspen Dental!I had work done on my teeth that was not covered by my insurance.I paid the full amount due 5 months later out of my pocket.That was almost 2 years ago.Now I just found out Aspen refilled the claim and my insurance did pay them and I had already paid them so there was NO claim to be filled! Not only did Aspen get my $2347.00 but also from my insurance co and I have not recieved any $$$$$$ back!!I am still fighting with them.......

RE: Aspen Dental, Holland, MI. I visited this office on 6/14/10 & had x-rays & a deep cleaning.

They presented me with a procedure plan & got a line of credit for me. I didn't go back since I found a local dentist who could preform the same services for less. I told them that I was changing dentist & wouldn't be back. I called a few days later & asked out my refund.

They said: "Oh you want a refund". I still do not have my refund as of 7/29/10 & get no help from them. I think it is very unethical & probably illegal to charge for procedures that have not been preformed. I am very angry & want my money refunded ASAP.

I am paying interest on an amount that is almost $4000 more that what they have done. I am on disability & can not afford to pay all of this interest on something that I do not owe. If they are using my money, they should pay the interest.

I have been mislead through this whole ordeal & will never refer anyone to them. I also intend to tell anyone I can about their suspicious practices.

BastekA,

Thank you for letting me know about your experience. I am going to pass this on to the patient satisfaction team. I will also talk with the office manager at the Chelmsford office.

Thanks again,
