No, fills are free.....however, fluoroscopy is not. OCC charges $100 for fluoro each visit - which is very cheap.

Quick question...what is fluoroscopy? Is it a fill solution? If you do not chose Fluoroscopy, what do they use?

Thanks Cathy

Fluoroscopy is a technique for obtaining "live" X-ray images of a living patient - it is like X-ray television. The patient drinks a solution called "contrast media" which can be seen by the physician (via the fluoroscope on a TV monitor) as it travels through the digestive system. This aids the physician in determining optimal fill volume. :) The alternative, a "blind" fill, is basically a calculated guess by the physician.
