Out of pocket for fills/ unfills?

[TigerMomma 0]

I paid out of pocket for surgery. I don't have insurance as I am a stay at home mom. My fills are $150./ea. But I don't know if I have to pay for unfills too? Just want to know if it is the norm to have to pay for unfills too. Not that I will need one for a bit. Haven't even had my first fill!

Typically you pay for both. An unfill still requires you to be seen in an office and for a health care professional to work with you. However, it never hurts to ask if your fill is too tight if you can have a reduced or free visit to adjust it to normal. You never know, perhaps you'll get lucky.

wow! that's alot but it will be worth it especially if you can find a happy medium where you won't keep needin fills..my doc does a special for his patients which is unbelieveable i am a self pay with no insurance we have three months free post ops covered for fills but anything after three months we only pay $15 that's crazy! He could charge alot more but wants to assure we can et in there. To be honest i wouldnt care i would pay anythin if i could just to lose this weight
