Reply #12: Our dental coverage was recently weakened and neither [View All]

[LibDemAlways]

my husband's company nor the carrier bothered to let us know. We now have to go to one of their "approved" dentists in order to be covered at 80%. Otherwise the payout is 50% of what they allow (after a huge deductible is paid) - which is considerably less than what the dentist is actually charging for the service. I found this out the hard way when my daughter needed three fillings and I got hit with a large, unexpected bill. (Of course premiums haven't gone down any, so we're paying just as much for decidedly crappier coverage.)

I checked the list of approved dentists and none of our longtime trusted providers is on there. It's all people in sleazy storefront locations with big ads in the phonebook. Yeah, right.

Screwed over yet again.
