They will kharge what they think the market will bear to make up for their losses I tend to agree. There often seems to be a mentality here of "get the most that you can right now with this customer with this transaction", instead of building a relationship with the customer so you get the repeat business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJReyes Posted June 2, 2020 Author Posted June 2, 2020 According to NBC News, some dental practices are charging either $10 or $20 "infection control fee" which their patients have to pay directly because it is not covered by insurance. Dental offices were shut down as non-essential to conserve limited medical supplies of personal protection equipment (PPE) and because of social distancing issues. Time to visit the Philippines for our dental needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
