DENTAL UPDATE!!!

First of all, insurance is a scam! I, being a lowly grad student, have to have the grad student health insurance, which i pay for along with my tuition. well, it is better than nothing, but barely. the lady at the front desk takes all my info and i tell her what i have and so she enters all my stuff in the computer and when my appointment is over i go to the front and she says, "did you know your maximum per year is $250?" and i said yeah they explained it to us that it was for a checkup and cleaning once a year. and she said, "well, i've never heard of it being that low. when it came up on the computer i had to call and make sure it wasn't an error." she then told me that normal coverage is around $1000-1500 a year. so next time when i go back for a cleaning and to fix a filling $83 of that is coming out of my own pocket. wtf?

but i guess i can't complain too much because that would be $333 out of my pocket without insurance. but then again, if i didn't have any coverage then i wouldn't go. i know this because i've gone 5 years without insurance and not once visited the dentist...so there's a moral here somewhere??? lol
