Western Dental Insurance Fraud, Over Billing Phoenix Arizona

I had a similar experience with far greater problems and costs. They pulled all of my teeth and made me a pair of dentures. The pair they made were too big to even fit on my gums, so I refused them. I then called my insurance company. My insurance company refused to send payment until I had a pair that I was happy with. Western Dental refused to make another pair until the insurance company paid them. I went 8 weeks completely without teeth until I just gave up and went to another dentist.

I had paid my share for all work done, even though it was a nightmare that is another story. What I did not pay for is the dentures I never received. 6 months later I got a bill from Western dental for $800.00 due on the contract for the dentures. I wrote a letter back stating I never received any dentures, so therefore I owe nothing. The following week I got a bill for 2500 dollars and a threat to report this on my credit. I called them and told them I never received any dentures so I didn't owe the money. They said they would look into it. then came the following bills: 150.00 2350.00 500.00 1750.00 in that order, by this time I was turned over to collections. They also kept billing my insurance. I called the collection agency and said I was being billed for services and appliances I had not received. They said that it didn't matter whether or not Western Dental provided the services in the contract, the only thing that mattered was the fact that I signed agreeing to pay that amount. 4 years later, I am still getting bills, and it is still on my credit report.
