Dentist billed code D0470 for diagnostic casts but no impressions were taken. They took an intraoral scan without asking and without prefacing that it would be an additional cost. I just figure it was included in the price of the initial exam. Nope. I did not ask for this service and was only in for a cleaning and exam. My insurance doesn’t cover that code. Will I have to pay the dentist that money even though they did not disclose that it wasn’t part of the services that we went over prior to the appointment?
