Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.

Go into the dentist office and don't leave until they see you. Warn everyone else there that they do surprise billing practices. Squeaky wheel gets the grease

Many states have surprise billing regulations for exactly this issue. Check if you state has this. And then follow up with your insurer.

This is an issue with your insurer, not just the providers

Thanks. I’ll look into it

Start blasting them on yelp, Facebook and other review places to increase the likelihood they cut you a deal.

In both cases, I’ve sent emails and now mail - they aren’t responding. The dentist does not even pick up the phone.

Annoyed because I know if they just don’t respond and I don’t pay - it will hit my credit and doubt I can fight it there

Take it up with your insurance provider and see what they say. And then definitely file an ethics complaint with your jurisdiction; whether it's some medical oversight board or with the state AG.

I would say - did you also verify directly with your insurance network that the provider was in network? ZocDoc can often be wrong.
I had a provider that almost tried to charge me 3k bc of this.

Yeah that’s what my provider said, too, and Lo and behold they were wrong
