Up to 600,000(!!) North Carolinians could be newly eligible to get health insurance through Medicaid. This is a big, big deal that’s been over a decade in the making.

Negotiating dental bills?

I have recently been to 2 oral surgeons regarding my case and a few days ago I got bills for the consultations that are about $300 each. I didn't realize the dental consultations cost that much (or anything at all for that matter) as I am from another country and am not yet used to the US healthcare system. Can I ask them to lower the cost for these bills or is that futile?

Apart from that, I've visited a 3rd oral surgeon who has actually provided me with the cost for the surgery I need (jaw surgery, it's actually considered a medical expense but you go to a dental doctor) and it costs $45000 and he is "out-of-network" with all insurance providers, meaning I have to pay most of this out of pocket. Is it possible to negotiate this?

Opinions?

A year ago me and a few buddies went exploring, to be simple we found an abandoned warehouse that has burnt down. It was in an open complex with other little buildings around it. We went in the warehouse to explore and it smelt of a mouldy kind of smell, I tried to put my t shirt over my mouth while my bud put a mask on and we carried on. I don’t know how old the place was but it never crossed my mind that it could have been asbestos. Looking back at the time i thought it was just gas and mould and I’m wondering if it was asbestos if it could effect us. We were only in there for around 5 mins and it’s a fairly open air space, I’m no medical expert but I’m just wondering, would appreciate help, thanks! (It might have just been dust and burnt things)
