<prompt> Human: Im in my mid-30s and only ever had my dentist charge dental insurance for visits. My daughter had just started seeing a pediatric dentist practice when she fell and knocked her front teeth around 18 months old. Brought her to the dentist and they asked for her health insurance card. I thought well, this may be considered more of a health visit so filling with health insurance makes sense. They literally liked in her mouth and said Her teeth look fine. No issues from the fall. We had a standard health insurance copay for that visit.Except 2 years later Im noticing that for every routine cleaning my daughter has had since then theyre charging both her dental and health insurance. Both pay a certain amount, and while the health insurance EOB days we have a copay, the dentist has never sent a bill for it. This rings odd to me, as Ive never had a dentist deal with health insurance in my entire life. Is this a perfectly normal practice and Ive just been going to weird dentists for decades, or is my daughters pediatric dentist trying to suck every cent they can legal or not. What really grinds my gears is that shes never had an x ray and they basically just check and polish her teeth. Its as labor intensive as folding a piece of paper.  <response>: Given how insurance companies dont like to pay out money they dont have to I am sure they would have caught on and denied claims where they arent appropriate.If it really bothers you, you can contact your health insurance company and ask why this dentist is allowed to charge both insurance plans.For the initial issue that occurred at 18 months it could have made sense being both a dental and medical issue since there was trauma involved. But routine check ups and cleanings shouldnt be considered medical. The fact that pediatric dental insurance must be purchased at least in my state, I dont know if its federal or not it makes no sense to then allow these procedures to be billed to medical insurance because then whats the point of pediatric dental?.
