Well, it seems to have to me. The silent cuts are those in the yearly
max, not the service fees per se. It means patients max out more easily.

Two crowns instead of five!
One endo and one crown instead of fixing up an entire mouth.
etc.
Not much of a benefit considering the dollars charged for premiums.

Exactly !
And in some areas the max won't cover one molar endo !

Guys, thanks for all the answers to my question, but is $3000 for an
implant about right?

If that includes abutment and crown placement it's about right.

That's exactly what I meant. The $1,000 to 1,500 max hasn't kept
up with the times.
