I recently was overcharged for a trip to a dentist and was wondering if anyone knew what my options were?
I was told my filling would cost 120 Euro, and when I went to pay I was told PRSI would cover 30 of that. I later found out the dentist had received over 50 Euro from PRSI for the filling, so in effect he had earned his 120 euro and then decided to steal another 20 of my PRSI receipt.
When I rang to complain, I was given muliple excuses, all of which I proved to be lies, but the dentist is still refusing to pay me what he owes.
The secretary told me they could charge what they liked, but I would have thought, after a price has been agreed post-procedure, they don't have the scope to charge me an additional amount without letting me know they're doing so.
My annoyance is less to do with the money, and more the extraordinary greed and lack of integrity of the dentist.
Has anyone any ideas on recourse available...?
