Why would medicaid pay ANYTHING towards a dental bill? I'm not old or crazy (which are the only two ways I've seen anyone get medicaid benefits)
And I'm obviously NOT paying for it out of pocket - since it's not done yet *grins* Seriously, it's been both the attitude of the offices and my bad attitude.
"We have a credit line you apply for and pay like a credit card" "Ok, but I'm not going to get that I've had credit problems, what other options do you have?" "*SPLUTTER* WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T GET IT??????" *Pause* "uh, I mean I won't get it, and i need this surgery." "*huff* Well you CAN give us a post dated check for a week later for half. The rest is upfront." "Um, yeah, Ok let me call you once hell freezes over, ok?"
I'm either calling my mother's surgeon, or looking into the dental schools. We have Tufts and BU both close enough to go to. *shrugs* the thing is I've had several "real" jobs and never had dental insurance so this doesn't surprise me.
