You should have it forever and $100 isn't that much in the long run.ND Chichttp://ndchicscents.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921609404771984660.post-45525500828460605952011-09-08T09:18:47.145-07:002011-09-08T09:18:47.145-07:00gah, insurance companies are a pain in the ASS!!!
...gah, insurance companies are a pain in the ASS!!!<br />i have always gotten white fillings, (i get A LOT of cavities) , not because i knew of mercury, but because i am vain and don't want my smile to be full of metal : P <br />anyway, my experience was i had like an infected tooth so i made an emergency appointment and the dentist said i had like 10 cavities and it was going to cost something like $800 to get them all filled. and i was like fuck i can't afford this! so i went to my old dentist, who lives in a shadier part of town, and got a second opinion. turns out i had NO cavities. and i even got a THIRD opinion to make sure.and sure enough...nothing. it was crazy. <br />maybe your dentist can haggle? i only pay $50 for my white fillings.Newlyweds on a Budgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10165059665185786849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921609404771984660.post-18570486348890959032011-09-07T23:21:09.246-07:002011-09-07T23:21:09.246-07:00Ha ha, that was a pretty funny post.

I had a s...OMG, do not even get me STARTED on this! I had a similar (though non-dental) WTF moment with my insurance company last month. I knew that I hadn't had a tetanus booster in over 10 years, so while I was at the doctor for something else I ask for one. No big deal. Preventative medicine, right?<br /><br />Wrong! I go to the doctor a month later and they tell me I have a $75 balance! For what you ask? The freaking tetanus shot! So I call the insurance company to investigate and apparently, insurance doesn't cover immunization boosters in people over 19. So I asked, well what if I stepped on a rusty nail and had to go to the emergency room? She said, well then you'd pay the emergency room co-pay...which is $25. <br /><br />So, I have to pay out of pocket for preventative medicine, which is WAY cheaper but not for "reactive" care after something has already happened?!!! This makes no sense!!!TeacHerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641784616684869834noreply@blogger.com
