Full-Coverage-Dental-Insurance.com Aims to Educate Consumers on How to Protect Themselves Against Dental Insurance Fraud
Tukwila, Washington (July 2, 2015) – “Dental billing fraud is more common than you think,” revealed a story on Fox News recently. Dental billing fraud is also what a Washington-based website, Full-Coverage-Dental-Insurance.com, aims to warn people against, especially those who have dental insurance or are planning to get one. The site was launched by an organization of dental insurance providers and partner dental professionals to help educate people on dental insurance frauds, how they are done, and the best ways to avoid them.
“We hope to see fewer victims of dental insurance fraud with the launching of our website,” says Leslie J. Drew, spokesperson for Full-Coverage-Dental-Insurance.com. “There are con artists everywhere. The best way to avoid getting scammed is through getting the right information.”
Drew recalled that their group has received reports of victims scammed in different ways, including getting low quality service from an unlicensed dental practitioner. Fraudulent billings, in which the patient is charged fees for services different from what they actually received, is another form of fraud. Yet another common type of dental insurance fraud is the dentist “unbundling” a procedure, which means breaking down the component parts of a particular dental procedure so the dentist can charge for each component part.
According to Drew, it is the patient’s responsibility to protect themselves against dental billings fraud. “It’s one’s responsibility to know as much about the insurance coverage they have availed as possible. If you are clueless, find help. Don’t fall victim to these crooks,” she said.
Full-Coverage-Dental-Insurance.com is an online resource that contains information on dental insurance fraud, its many forms and ways on how to avoid them. The site also discusses about the many types of dental insurance a person can avail. For more information, please contact Leslie J.
