Would you offer free dental work to someone who couldn't pay for it? (the correct answer is ''no'')
why is it no? saw this in interview feedback.

Yeah, it's really ironic and hypocritical. We had an FBI agent come and talk to us, and apparently, if you take any type of insurance or medicare, it's illegal to give away your services at your own office. Personally, I would have said that if I saw a person was in real extreme need, and had no other options, I'd probably do it myself.
Why did you have an fbi agent tell you this? Did they tell you in D school? & why is the answer "no"? I would do it if the person was in those circumstances.
How about doing the work and leaving the payment date open-ended to when the patient can afford to pay?

And what about all the hospitals that treat people free of charge? How is helping someone out in your office different than donating time at a free clinic? I'm not out to rip off the government by accepting Medicaid or other programs and then treating others who don't have it for free. This is the problem with our country: everything needs to have government oversight.
