Kell - our vision and dental is separate from major medical, too. I carry vision for me (about $8.00/month) but I carry dental (about $14.00/month) for both of us. I go to the dentist twice a year for cleaning, no charge. I get my eyes checked about every two years. My last complete eye exam and a new contact lens Rx cost me what I pay each month for coverage plus a whopping $1.54 balance due.kelli said:I've paid healthcare before.. at my previous job.. it was about $100 for lack-lustre coverage.. some dental, no eye care and the dispensing fee for presciptions.. my current job pays everything for us for superior coverage..
However.. everyone gets the necessary coverage like operations, hospital visits.. stuff like that.. so if you don't have coverage and you break an arm.. you don't pay anything.
Now if you don't have coverage and you need glasses or your teeth cleaned, you pay out of pocket.
My raging toothache mkes it hard to concentrate ! Does that say $140 ?...squintPaddysmom said:Kell - our vision and dental is separate from major medical, too.
