A dental cancer screen test was rendered (took a few minutes), which I didn't agree to in Sept of 2008. They sent me a surprise bill ($67.96) shortly after that, which I responded with a letter stating the reason why I didn't owe the balance (also called & left a message regarding this). The bill with a final notice/collection threat continued. I have told them several times in the past (to previous hygienist) that I wasn't interested in anything that my insurance doesn't cover. The dentist sent me a responding letter, which said the reason for the check up, was because there were many people that died from this particular cancer, and he requires all patients to do this test. He didn't deny my disapproval to the service.
Collection agency means my ruined credit? Thank you!
