So if your dentist charges more than the NDP say they should your dentist may not alter their fees but your insurance company has grounds to cover less, leaving people and their families on the hook for more.

exactly.
I also received a memo stating my insurance company will now only cover up to the cost in the fee guide.
I think wormius forgets that it is only a guide and it doesn't mean most dentists have to or will lower prices. (probably the crappy dentists who have trouble getting patients will)
our HR people framed it as an excellent chance to shop around and find the best prices.
they might as well said to go see Dr. Nick.
what good options. spend my time searching for the cheapest dentist regardless of skill level and location, or pay more out of pockets which are not deep to begin with.
