Interested to know how you know this to be true. It has never been that way in my office and since the majority of dentists don't take assignment of benefits, I would highly doubt that the majority of dentists would do so ..... in fact, it is insurance fraud to do so. Since an insurance audit could take place at any time, the likliehood of a two tiered fee structure would be highly unlikely.
I understand your beef with the use of CBCT (and in some respects I agree with you) but your statement above is wrong.
