I'm having an issue with my dentist and I thought I'd throw it out to the CP community to see if anyone else has had this experience.

I received a bill from my dentist yesterday for $324. It includes my second to last visit last November. My insurance denied the claim since the deadline for '09 claims was the end of March. To me it looks like the Dental office sat on my paperwork for six months, filed it with the insurance company, had it denied, and now expect me to pay. I know that the world isn't fair but surely this isn't right. I 'paid' when I signed the claim form in the office last November.
Anyone have a similar experience? Advice?
