If anyone would mind explaining what this means…
“ACCEPTED/PLANNED Entered:10/25/21 . . . . . 4 02950 CORE BLDUP AMAL/PLAS -Tooth: 31 -UCF: 312.00 -Estimated Fee: 20.00 -Estimated Primary: 0.00 -Estimated Secondary: 0.00 -Estimated Patient: 20.00 4 02740 CERECFIRED CROWNPOST -Tooth: 31 -UCF: 1652.00 -Estimated Fee: 1425.00 -Estimated Primary: 0.00 -Estimated Secondary: 0.00 -Estimated Patient: 1425.00 (And then what are the total costs when you add each category up; can’t properly format on Reddit: UCF = 1964.00, Estimated Fee = 1445.00, Estimated Primary = 0.00, Estimated Secondary = 0.00, Estimated Patient = 1445.00)

Is the ACCEPTED/PLANNED “02740 CERECFIRED CROWNPOST” the same as the CHOICES/ALTERNATIVE “02740 CEREC CROWN POST”? I know the codes are the same and the names are similar, so they must be the same, but I’m just wondering why the ACCEPTED/PLANNED one is 1425.00, while the CHOICES/ALTERNATIVE one is 1175.00; I’m wondering where they got that extra 250.00 from. That BASIC COVERED BENEFIT of 300.00 for the CROWN FULL METAL: can I get that in replacement of the CROWNPOST? 2a. Or is the CROWN FULL METAL the “base” for my crown, and the CROWNPOST is the touch-up. I looked up the code for the CROWNPOST in my insurance directory, and it’s typically $300 (porcelain/ceramic) without any upgrades. Does my dentist office just prefer doing the more “human”-like teeth, and thinks the patient would prefer that? is this a special deal from my dentist office? Is this something I already agreed to and thus can’t change? I haven’t paid for this yet and haven’t scheduled any appointments regarding this, but if I have these ACCEPTED/PLANNED prices all laid out, I’m thinking I can’t change?
Thanks to anyone who can explain this in a way my mind can understand!
