Please be sure to check your health insurance statements

I have had several times where what I paid at my doctors or dentists office has been different than what my insurance statement said it should be. It has mostly happened with eye and dental insurance. My wife was overcharged $150 for glasses, I was just overcharged $150 for a crown and $60 for fillings. Once I was told to pay the full amount ($300) for one healthcare service and then discovered they had submitted and received full payment from my insurance. I was also billed for a Covid test at the start, when they are all covered by insurance. I've been able to be reimbursed in all situations, but I've yet to have a carry where a mistake has not happened. This has happened with BCBS and MetLife. How much of this is errors or on purpose, I can't say, but you really need to do your due diligence and know what your insurance covers and follow up and review your statements. Insurance companies will not make sure the provider is billing correctly, only you can do that.
