I've had this happen a few times. One dentist was a low income dentist and she would find and fill 7 cavities every 6 months. I didn't go to the dentist for 2 years because of Covid. I finally went today to a nice place that I knew did not accept my insurance because I wanted to avoid fraud. The dentist said my teeth looked great.
Does anyone know anything about dental fraud with certain insurances?

Oh wow I wonder if the difference lies in what state you live in. Here it’s very hard to find doctors that take Medicaid or Medicare and they reimburse at such a low rate only a few of them will do this. So they always have lines and lines of patients . The private dentists Will bill your insurance however dental coverage sucks in the US anyway and the patient is on the hook for money. So at least in my experience the dentist’s I’ve dealt with allow you to make payment arrangements and never force work on you.
