CarolAnn-
Insurance companies try to pull that kind of crap all the time. If you see a dentist, your dental insurance should cover it. If you see a doctor, your medical insurance should cover it. The only exception is if you have an HMO and you went to a doctor without being referred there by your primary physician, or you went to a dentist who does not accept your dental health plan. Otherwise, your doctor or dentist should just keep submitting bills to the insurance company until they cough it up, which they will eventually, but your insurance co. will try to get you to pay for it first. Again, this is common practice, but unfortunately it goes on all the time. I got a CERTIFIED letter from my insurance company saying that they weren't going to pay my hospital bill, but they did. Don't let them bully you. You're responsible for your deductible or co-pay and that's it.
