Legal Question in Insurance Law in Virginia

Change of coverage without a notice

I was with the same dentist for about 2 years (same insurance company also). My visits were not very frequent, but 2 -3 times a year at least. I had no problems with billing until 2 months ago when I got a bill for the last services they did. The bill is for the full amount for the services (standard filling) - my insurance did not cover anything! Then I found out that the dentistry broke the agreement with my insurance company, but no one notified me about it. And the estimate that they gave me after the services were done was what I usually paid for the same type of service. What should I do?

Re: Change of coverage without a notice

My understanding is that even under the circumstances described, the patient is legally responsible for paying the bill issued by the medical provider.
