  12. : Is there anything I can do?  Is this insurance fraud?
  13.  
  14. No, it is not insurance fraud. However, it does sound like a lack
  15. of care for the welfare of the patient. 
  16.  
  17. If you think the care is ok otherwise, here is what I suggest.
  18. Tell them to get the paperwork in to the insurance company, before
  19. your appointment. If they rag you for more money, tell them you  
  20. will be happy to pay, after they submit the insurance forms.
  21.  
  22. I would suggest that you go to another dentist for future work.
  23. I would also inform the dentist, by letter, why you are changing.
  24. He may be unaware of the actions of the receptionist.
