Dental Insurance sucks!!!
I think I want to start a contest...
I have gotten numerous calls today (my part-time job is working at a dental insurance company member service phone center) from folks who end up complaining about their dental insurance, and the question usually comes out as, "Why am I paying so much for insurance when they don't pay for nothing?" The two main requirements for a good answer are that it satisfies my urge to strangle and/or call the caller a moron, and that I don't immediately get fired for the answer.
Be creative... I know you can... and thank you for your support.
Prizes?? You don't need no stinkin' prizes!

You put up with this crap during the day and you actually want to read about it in your off time. You really did pick the right screen name.
Okay, here goes... Military dental insurance (United Concordia) I had a crown that broke after 4 years and 11 months and 6 days. First time through they deny the claim because it has been less than 5 years since the original cap. So then I call them and ask them to send me info on my policy. I read the info and find out that if the military has moved us more than 40 miles during that time then they would pay for the replacement. So I had to track down a copy of my husband's change of duty station orders from when we moved here 4 years ago and mail it to them all so they would pay for a crown.
It was the stupidest thing I had ever heard of that they would only pay for it because we had moved. And that they would have denied it because it was 24 days shy of the 5 year mark. STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! Oh well, at least they paid for it. Then it took me 6 months to get my other portion of the money back from the dentist's office. Not his fault, his insurance clerk is an idiot.

Thanks for playing, Blondie... I run across those kind of situations all the time... bugs me no end. The worse one I've seen is a plan that you can buy on your own in California... it's a plan that gives you coverage both in and out of network, but if you just go out of network, you actually pay more in premiums than the plan will pay out in benefits.
Now you see why I hear that question so often...
Do I have to pay more if I only brush once a week?
Do I get a discount if I eat cream corn instead of corn on the cob?
IF I knock out 2pac's teeth do I have to pay to put them back in even though he asked for it?
SW has a boyfriend, and that blows.
^ Lol jimcs! now now play nice.
The only sound my mind makes is "glurp, glurp"
I don't blow!
We have not yet ascertained all your sexual proclivities as of yet.I don't blow!
Jim, I'm sorry but I won't be able to share that with you.We have not yet ascertained all your sexual proclivities as of yet.
Oh, and Crazy, just talk to them in an Indian accent(Apu voice) and tell them how bad healthcare is where you come from. 500,000 Rupies a month and they don't cover brain freezes from slurpies!
It is alright, I have a mole operating undercover as we speak.....we will all find out sooner or later.Jim, I'm sorry but I won't be able to share that with you.

It's all good man. SW is like a member of our family in here, and whoever takes her out has to stand up to scrutiny at the highest level. You better just watch yourself there pal...and treat her right, or you will suffer the wrath of the forum.

YEAH! What Jimbo said. I still can't believe she left me for the devil.

Well if you don't like you can sit on my tack! (Wait that sounded wrong!)

Don't think of it as losing a SW as much as gaining a 666!
Well, you may be her boyfriend, but you'll never be able to say you ate Bill Miller's with SpursWoman and a tuba player named Lurch...
