Dental insurance waiting period?

Recommended Posts

technically, there's no such thing as dental insurance.. you get a checkup every 6 months with a copay.. everything else is a discount. I donno if you get it through work or individual/family, but if it's the latter, go get yourself a discount dental plan..

and yes, there are elimination periods with dental insurance.. typically there is a 2 year waiting period on anything major... which is one of many reasons to just get a discount plan.

and since this topic is here, let's me say this: people let this thread be an example of rethinking your health insurance needs altogether... the typical copay plan is a ripoff if you get down to the numbers.. I know you may think you sleep better at night, but it's a false security if we actually were to sit down and chat it would take 2 minutes for me to show you how your getting &*## in the #*&... :)

getting health insurance through your company has spoiled our country.. and as much as you may hate it, if you haven't found out why, you're not far away...

questions like "but I used to pay this" kill me because your employer pays 30X what you pay.. and to expect your employer to do that is ludicrous in this economy.. well, at all.. unless it's a multi-million dollar company.. lol

I just got a root canal and teeth cleaned. Total $1,200. I paid $0. Insurance covered 100%.

is this group insurance supplied by your employer? has to be.. which is what I already explained up above..

if it's an individual/family dental plan.. you won't come out playing only $0.. and you won't have anything done the 1st two years of that policy..

if you got it through your employer.. you have what most people do not... and health insurance premiums are outrageous for your employer.. people are going to have to come to terms that most companies just cannot afford $50,000/year to supply you all with health insurance anymore.. ($50,000 is on a smaller scale)

at least when employers step outside the box and realize there is a better solution already in existence for their company.. the group plan is out of date and inefficient, as far as the business aspect of it goes..

work for SAS or any huge company and you can argue saying your entitled to health coverage.. but not everyone works for a huge company like that...

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
