More details to this question:
I went to the dentist and paid all the money they ask for, then they told me a month later that my insurance company did not pay them. Is it my responsibility to pay what my insurance company refused to pay after the dentist called and got all the stuff approved?

Yes. You are legally responsible for the services provided to you by your dentist. Your recourse is against your insurance company.

You need to contact your insurance company. They may have made an error in refusing to pay.

Yes, it is your responsibility to pay what the insurance company did not cover. However, you can resubmit the claim and/or appeal the denial. Frequently, claims that are initially denied are later paid.

Yes, you have to pay. It's your responsibility as to insurance.

Yes, because you were the beneficiary of the services. If the carrier does not pay, you must.
