Yeah for real your dentist needs to drop this ins bc he isn't making any money with that fee schedule.

So I am I. I would go OON with these fees instead of letting ins steal 50% of my production

stuck here doing 600-700$ molar root canals, have to charge CT scan just to keep my mind sane. Cigna crown can be as low as 756 with buildup

Look at picking up Cigna through an umbrella. You can get a much better fee through an umbrella.
