(1,142 posts)We only had to pay like $45 dollars total for it, were in network though. Neither of us have a regular doctor. I dont have a particular preference as long as they do the job right. When they start prescribing pills on pills I start to argue, because they honestly dont seem to even look at the side affects of what they are prescribing. When you start multiplying those affects with the possible affects of other prescriptions you may be taking, it can just be downright dangerous.
Dental wise, I just had to pay out over $7000 for some bone grafts in my gums and the removal of three teeth. Now I must get a custom partial made within the next few months. The actual implant would be more than $5000, which I simply cant afford. I may be able to get Humana to cover part of the partial. Its rough when you get old.
We had health insurance when we worked, but couldnt take time off to use it. Now we are retired and can, but it isnt as good.
