Re: Dunno- Got conflicting answers myself recently...
My 8 year old took a tooth ache the other week. Rang dentist and they only made an appointment. no emergency?!? Explained i'm a medical card holder as was my son.
Took him in and had to get a tooth extracted or get him root canal procedure. Opted for extraction. After, i was asked for €80. I explained i had a medical card. But she told me he was not covered. I should have gone to the HSE up the road. Go and see if i can get reimbursed.
I went up and was told that due to cut backs they dont treat primary school children in 2nd, 3rd and 6th class now- just 6th class. My son's in 3rd.
Was told to write to the principle dentist and appeal it.
Went back to dentist, who said i was filled with BS and that they DO treat his age. In the meantime i have this bill, along with the fact he needs two more fillings.
For Gods sake!....
Good Luck
