If my memory serves me right, a routine cleaning under Medicaid provided a reimbursement of something like $6 while a regular insurance provided a reimbursement of $30. Remember this was years ago so the numbers I am sure have drastically changed, but you can see the huge difference in compensation. It is a matter of greed for sure.
And isn't it a crying shame that so called professionals can go that low.
