I think it is tooth 9. It also has a post (previously, not a new one) I am getting the existing crown replaced. I was told my share was $345 after Cigna's part ( I believe Cigna pays 60%) and they were quite clear it was the total cost. I paid up front. I do know they discussed getting one of my other crowns replaced but I never said I was ready for it.
It is back from the lab and I go in next week to have it installed. When they confirmed appointment they told me I will be charged an additional $375. I am a little upset I am not sure if they were trying to do a second crown without discussing it with me first or if the total cost of the one crown will be $720.
I asked them about it and they could not really explain it or she was avoiding explaining it. I told them they called me for my tooth is back from the lab and my appointment is to have it installed not to get a second crown an all she said is they will put that down. Still did not get a straight answer.
Now I am mad and confused. And decided to walk away before going postal over the phone and just find out directly when I come in for my appointment. I do realize $345 is low for my portion of a crown. I paid more in the past but this year my insurance pays 60%.
