Insurance enrollment? Dental? - MMMcurious

Posted: Apr 10, 2012

I think they said open enrollment was coming up in June didn't they? Can you get just dental? Anyone have any experience with it? Worth it? Expensive? We lost our dental last year and with the 4 of us, I'm wondering if it would be worth it to get it through the M. Thanks!

If they have not changed anything, the dental is actually pretty super. The plan the dentist had for me came to like $3800, including a crown. With the insurance, my final out of pocket was like $400...for the crown only. Even the workers there always commented on how good the insurance was.

Dental...definitely worth it!

Good to know! SM - MMMcurious

Do you know about how much do you pay a month for just the dental? Thanks for the reply!

I cover my husband, my son and myself. I pay about $34 per pay period. To my knowledge, the dental insurance is a DMO, so you will have to pick a primary dentist. Hopefully, your current dentist is participating (Aetna). I have found this to be very well worth the money as opposed to the health insurance.

May I just add - that

make sure your dentist is in a DMO if that's the plan you choose or in network. My dentist is out of network & I have to pay extra. Should switch, but I really like her.

for a family plan will be in the range of $48K+ to over $50K per year. The company pays 3/4, something like $36,000+/year, leaving me about $1,000/per month to pay for the cheaper plan, $12k a year, for a policy with $2500 individual deductibles/$5000 per family before it even starts paying, plus copays. I wish I could get the company to pay me that $36K to go in the bank instead. If my husband had health insurance, I could go employee alone for $100/month (1/10th as much), but he ...

Anyone hear any rumblings yet about Open Enrollment? Last year at this time we were already sent emails to "get ready" for it...so far this year, nothing. I heard that other companies were making the spousal/partner "penalty" for not taking insurance was going to go up to $500! We are now paying $100/month...let's hope that won't be the case, as that would essentially be one of my paychecks. Wonder what surprises are in store for us. Maybe we won' ...

I was on family UHC Choice and now being forced to MS HRA. My deductable went from 1500 to 6000!! Max out of pocket from 5000 to 20,000!! Instead of paying a $25/50/100 copay for my doctor/specialist/ER visits, its 30% after the outrageous deductable. But they cover routine physical 100% and they contribute $500...bah! Fuming. ...

Thankfully (but sadly) a death in the family has given me the finances and the free time to concentrate on it and work only part time.

I have never seen such a disorganized operation. We've been getting forms periodically emailed. Many forms don't have adequate instructions on where they're supposed to be sent. State tax forms haven't been sent to everyone as they should have been. Some employees haven't even gotten news about what they'll be paid next year, and yet they're expected to choose benefits without knowing what they'll be earning. This has been incredibly stressful and unneces ...
