I'm not asking for medical advice, I'm asking for financial advice! (this is allowed, right?)
My dentist has started to charge me for an "OSHA" fee which is $45 per visit. (excluding cleanings). Filling? Must charge an OSHA fee. Inlay? Must charge an OSHA fee. What I want to know is whether or not this is a legit fee to charge patients, how much dentists actually charge their patients for following OSHA guidelines, and what I can do about this?
The dentist I go to is great, but is part of a "group", so he is employed by another dentist which I have never seen. This is not his doing, but his employers doing. Admin and the hygienist are not that great, but I like the dentist!
