<prompt> Human: Basically the title says it all, i have Concordia Dental as my insurance. Called to confirm a check was issued to my account, and sure enough it was. I am completely confused as to why i received a 2 thousand dollar check, is it possible there was a set amount of money for the operation and not all of it was used so the rest was just sent to me? any ideas greatly appreciated.  <response>: This happened to me also with my dental insurance. The check is meant for the Dentist. First step call the dental office and ask them if the balance was paidI assume it wasnt. Then tell them you received the check and ask they how they would like you to pay the balance. My Dentist just had me sign the check over to them and they cashed it. Yours may have you do this or they may have you cash it and write a personal check.
