Dental insurance....?
I get SO angry at dentists and orthodontists. I have medical and dental insurance. Yet, it seem to me that dental insurance is a big rip-off.
I can have extensive surgery and pay a $ 200 copay, even so to have a root canal, I enjoy to pay over $ 1000. To have a simple tooth extraction, it costs (with insurance) around $ 100. For my husband to hold bridgework, it is going to cost over $ 3000. Needless to say, I cannot afford for my children to get braces, even though they have need of them ($ 6000 a pop).
Why are dentists so greedy - and/or - why is dental insurance such a rip-off? The only thing it really covers is free cleanings and a small percentage bad of fillings.
I mean, isn't it ridiculous that someone could own a leg amputated, a new prosthetic device put on, physical therapy administered, and it still cost LESS than a darn root waterway? Come on!
Anyone feel this way? Any dentists out within who would care to defend this position?
Answers:
your dental insurance sucks. why dont you shop around for a better plan? It will save you alot of money it sounds approaching.
hehe Prosthetics costing less.. you're funny.
The knees I have is 20 thousand the one I want is 50 thousand. That's not including labour, socket or the foot.
I live surrounded by Canada and my province won't even cover it. They'll take my leg off for nil but unless I'm on social assistance I'm not getting a dime to cover my limb.
My insurance covers some but my parents had to exchange blows for it. ( I was insured as a baby long in the past my amputation. but once I'm off my parents insurance next year I'm up the creek)
The rest of it go though generous charities.
Yes, It is a set-up.....I couldnt agree more....But thats our government for you..USELESS... lets pay packet 14 yr olds $3000 to have a baby! .& wonder why the country is full of youthful dysfunctional families....Lets keep pokies, alcohol and smokes at hand even tho its destroying countless numbers of lives....Im not trying to defend anything.. merely point out a few things to those who may not be aware.
To be fully covered for dental, you have to choose a abiding plan. Chances are youll never get a full refund and you will finale up paying 50 times more in insurance than medical work needed. They will always enjoy some excuse not to pay you.... like have a 6 monthly checkup 2 days before your six months is up. Even though you are a prompt payer, pay thousands.. its 2 days?? but no....you lose. discouraging luck....
Why are you angry at dentists for not getting enough refund? Its not their problem. So heaps patients think its their god given right to get free treatment in this day and age..why should a doctor, dentist or any other professional for that matter feel grateful or guilt tripped into dropping his prices cause you have 6 kids, are without a job, or dont have insurance, (or do have insurance and they wont pay)? My dad other gets people clich¨¦ ... Can you change the dates and item no's on my invoice so i carry more back from my fund?.......No, thats fraud, and i will get struck sour the register....If i pay straight away can i have it cheaper......NO, i expect you to pay cheque now- you dont go to the supermarket and ask that! If i pay dosh can i have it cheaper? No, it makes no difference to him if you pay cheque cash, it still goes through paperwork and he explains its not fair on all the associates out there paying to be in a fund.... (see someone is thinking of you!) Im sure they construe hes a miserable tight old buggger , But its not his problem! They are there to provide an essential service to adjectives those people out there, that cant be stuffed brushing their teeth properly! Then they enjoy the hide to be upset they 'NEED WORK'...Dental funds are a mugs game! you are wiser to put the money aside. The funds wont even retribution half of the treatment cost. It is not the 'solution to end adjectives problems' its made out to be .Just like life insurance...after adjectives you have to be almost dead until that time they will pay anything...You pay thousands a year to draw from piece of mind to receive jack shiit in return. Also it depends on who you talk to that year at the fund and what sort of mood she's in on how much you will get put money on. (believe me, Ive had many altercations on behalf of patients duped- next to no joy whatsoever) When a fund says.. sorry that number doesnt exist! You ring us and influence the number doesnt exist! did you put the wrong number on my receipt?......no,..... that means 'I'm sure the number exists, we a moment ago aren't going to re-imburse you for it.....sorry.....
As for the dentists point of view..... most of them HATE the funds.. we spend the whole time near patients asking 'how much will the fund give me back'? (stuffed if we know, nor do we care...we want you to money your bill and take the fund talk..to the fund!
the funds are making it impossible for them and they lose patients everyday....because 'GB' fund say unless you go to their dentist of choice who is a 'GB' fund provider you will only acquire a minimum refund back. If you jump to 'GB' dentist you will get %80 back.. so without a doubt most choose to follow "GB" fund.... little do they know......and as far as i have experienced the dentistry leaves a lot to be desired..
Most dental hospitals and fund clinics are full of contemporary students from overseas... Theyll pull your teeth out before offering you the pick of keeping it.. they dont do root canal, its too hard.. and youre getting it cheap, and you dont look after your teeth so why should they- thats the mentality.....if they do......hmm ..
I recommend if you find a righteous dentist you trust?...pay his fee... blissfully! Its amazing how dumb some people are..... dont tell a dentist you hatred him and hes a rip-off just before hes almost to give you an injection..DERRRR..
Dentists on the other hand own spent 5+ years at university... thats a lot of fees, (most are still paying them off)a lot of hard work, alot of stress.
The suicide rate surrounded by dentistry is EXTREMELY high. A very soaring percentage are HIGHLY addicted to their own happy gas tanks.
I agree prices are lofty...(my dads a dentist, my grandfathers a dentist & ive been in it since 1994... I know how expensive they are. but did you know that dentist stool you sit in cost him about $75,000.00 YES that be not a typo. We wanted to move premises lately, he said...no I havent got $300,000 to do it. He have to be exaggerating. Surely... A syringe of tooth filling costs
$156.00 The appointment book we write in costs $50
The rent is $3000 a month, wages are $2000 a week,min..
My boss doesnt know this nonetheless, but this month I have ordered approx $8000 worth of stock. He will craap himself. I dont waste money any. I only get what we call for, and i stock up on specials. Every order i do, I save $500 more for him compared to previous nurses. Those cheap plastic sunnies they engender you wear cost $40.....why? because dentists need them, and the dental companies know they have the upper foot. If you want to blame someone for the high prices Id start with the suppliers. The nice man that comes to pick up adjectives the sharps and syringe waste..... 2 tiny little plastic containers...$100+. Yearly autoclave tests and services $300..mandatory...
Yearly electrical conducting tests of all powerpoints $250. New carpet $3500. It costs us $30 per merciful. Just with you sitting in the bench, not even opening your mouth..The plain plastic contraption on the bench that mixes the impression matter, I wanted to get one... they cost over $2000.00... You want to complain give or take a few prices? Come spend the day with me looking through the product catalogues..$100 for a couple of surgical scissors...$150.00 for a bag of fluoride trays...you know the ones you all complain something like having in your mouth..Every time you bring back a crown, we have to pay the nice man $400 to craft it. Those fancy xray machines $60,000.00+ Mine pays $100,000.00 a year on wages. He works 6 days a week. He just wants to retire, but he cant afford it.... budge figure!
We dont have eftpos and everyone complains? How does 'me' manually swiping a credit card affect them? See they complain when we dont hold all the fancy stuff, but complain louder when we do..All you patients that dont turn up, or cancel that morning... we have 2hrs put aside for your crown prep and you have a headache and dont think 'you're up to it today.' My dentist doesnt charge a reversal fee, but im working on it.....Patients rock up 20 minutes late for a 30 minute appointment... oh sorry, couldnt find a park, have to get little johnny something to eat first.. he be hungry!...Excuse me? Then they are offended when i say near a smile.... 'Sorry, we will have to reschedule your appointment. The Dr cant see you now....What? horror, disbelief, do you know the hassle i go thru to get here? No.. I dont, and i dont care. Get a babysitter subsequent time and be thankful i dont give you a minimum $50 bill for WASTING OUR TIME!! as for the mums that turn up expecting me to sunshine care their kids! Hello? again....get a sitter! IM BUSY!
My dad suggested i get my degree and took over his practice! I just laugh and said NO THANKS! he couldnt believe it.. what an opportunity for me? I Dont like being stressed. Dont resembling owing money, wouldnt like patients telling me they abhor me and dont want to be here...everyday... how depressing! No wonder they are all committing suicide... all those years of stress and study? You can fashion more these days being a tradey....sparky...plumber...
Its not the medical professionals you should be vent your anger at...
sometimes its nice to understand & appreciate the 'other side of things'.
