Dentist can bill any amount, but that is not what insurances pay. They have set procedure payments and that is what the insurance will pay the dentist.

If the dentist is a participating provider all is good. The problem comes in when your dentist is not a participating provider. Then you can legally be billed for what the insurance didn't cover.

The district won't see your individual bill for dental or medical. HIPPA prevents that.
