On 14th of April 2022 I had an appointment and went to (BFD) Broadway Family Dentstry for a periodic "Teeth Cleaning". Before I begun to receive my service, while in the waiting room of BFD I called my insurance provider (MERITAIN Aetna) to confirm what service would be covered and told the receptionist what coverage I had and what service should be rendered. Once getting into the "Chair" for dental service, I was told I needed X-Rays and I asked if this would be covered, and I was told, YES. After X-Rays and a short period of the periodontists using a pic to remove some "build-up" on my teeth, I was told the service was done...! I was shocked to say the least not to receive a dental cleaning which was the original purpose for the visit! This was certainly a "Bailt-and-Switch" of services rendered, since I had an appointment for a dental cleaning, which was not rendered, and only given a small time to have someone use a pic on my teeth and X-Rays. To make matter worse, I was given (Billing: 10/25/2011 see attached) a bill that most of it, if not all of the serives/X-Rays were NOT covered by my insurance as was told to me. I was told some months later on the 04th of Novemeber 2022 from my insurance provider, that BFD did not do a pre-determination for this service, which I ask for them to do on 04/14/2022, and they did not do as well that their billing code 0150 not covered! Both the bailt-and-switch and not clearly confirming coverage of service that was going to be rendered is unethical and problematic with a Dentistry that is not working in a profession capacity. Many time I wanted and tried to contact BFD to comlaint by either calling on the telephone or visiting in-person, was not taken seriously and it seemed the entire dentistry practice was not concerned with their responsibility and business practice. I have given them all information and my concern, with not recourse from them at all.
