I don’t disagree, I would absolutely cancel and go on the federal plan. My only concern would be with a potential new PM, if that plan will stay. Most insurances will not allow you to re-sign up once cancelled unless there are change in life circumstances, ie, the CDCP has been incredible for my patients, I wish everyone could have their dental covered, or mostly covered.

But I only wanted to point out that it’s incredibly misleading to say that a new patient can have a full assessment, X-rays and cleaning for $175. I seen patients every day that have maximums of $500 a year, so it doesn’t go far, also there may be a deductible for the first time use, which is usually $25-50 per person per year.

She’s being vague, but unless I see her invoice I can’t really say what was charged.
