Connecticut Periodontal And Implant Associates

AVOID this business! I wish there was an option to give zero! I was looking for a periodontist who accepts my insurance. I called multiple offices in the area, many said they don’t accept my insurance and a couple, including CT Periodontal and Implants Associates said they would accept. Someone from their office called and reviewed my out of pocket cost for the surgery and said I have to pay almost $200 out of pocket. When I went there, the doctor did a comprehensive gum exam (which was not what I was referred for) and they gave me papers to sign. They explained the values written here are before insurance and my insurance covers everything except $200. Just a few days before surgery, somebody called from their office and told me your insurance does not cover this operation which was a big lie!!! I asked whether I can cancel my appointment and the lady told me I have to pay a fine, as it is too close to the surgery date. She also told me they would give me a 200 discount if I pay… it by check and not credit card (which again was a trick!!) I trusted them that my insurance does not cover this operation, and I accepted and paid $1000 with check. After the surgery, I got a new bill to pay $160 for a comprehensive exam, which was not what I had asked and was there for. They also billed me $200 more (actually there was no discount for paying with check!!!) The interesting part is that I called my insurance and realized that my insurance covers 80% of this operation and they are out of network!!! They literally lied to me, not just once but also many times!! Now they are sending me letters that they are reporting to credit. I have already paid $1000 for a procedure that would cost me $200 with insurance and they are still reporting my credit. Don’t go to their offices!!
