What's this?

Any time I've had procedures in a hospital, the Ins. Co. pays about 50%

of the bill and the rest goes away. If you didn't have insurance the hospital would be coming at you for the full amount of the bill.

Not sure if dental and health insurance are directly comparable. -- Hokie360 08/27/2020 10:46AM
