My dental hygienist is so good that she had to keep waking me up so I would hold my mouth open.

There seems to always be something always wrong in the billing department. I feel like I go through this about once a year. Insuranc mixups, then wrong billing, or not having more information on file, or something else. They wanted me to send pictures of my Insurance cards. I guess that makes it easier for them instead of a conversation where they can collect that information. Also not every senior citizen sits around all day taking and sending photos over their phone. So not so easy a task. All that could have been avoided if the billing employer did not leave so early. I may try another dentist to see if they make it this hard.
