What if I paid for services rendered at my dentist office and they submitted a claim to my insurance for what I already paid for?
It was for over $1000. Is this something I should persue?

If you already paid for the dental services that you received from your dentist and he or she submitted a claim to your insurance carrier for the same services, you are entitled to a rebate from your dentist for whatever money he or she receives from your insurance carrier. It is not allowed under the law for your dentist to receive double the compensation for services rendered on your behalf.
I would pursue a rebate from your dentist based upon what you have written.
