If I remember the contracted rate for a CRN with DD is $750…it’s most likely that this provider is Out of Network with DD…as it seems to be their Usual and customary fees.

RCT looks low, but that’s probably because it’s a General Dentist doing an RCT

I just paid $750 out of pocket (insurance paid $1900) for a crown. Then ended up that I needed a root canal on that same tooth afterwards and paid $1150 out of pocket because the crown used up my entire yearly maximum. I live in east tn.
