My fiance needs to see the dentist badly?

He has a abscessed tooth among other things. How can we afford to get his teeth taken care of, does anyone know of any dental insurance plans that have low co payments, please help if you can
--------------------
I went through the same problem. I went to a local clinic to get antibiotic for the absess first. Then I signed up with Delta Dental's "DeltaCare USA" plan - it was very affordable at around $95 per year. You can get more info, and enroll online at http://www.deltadentalins.com/plans/individual.html

Canine tooth grown in behind a baby tooth?

I'm 24 years old and I have a canine tooth that has grown in behind a baby tooth, I really want to go to the dentist but I'm so embarrassed that I let it get so bad. I have dental insurance, and I just want to know if anyone has gone through this before and what options were given to correct my smile. Thank you!

Can an unwarranted collection be a voilation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act?

I saw a dentist in 2004. I had dental insurance and provided this information to the dental office. I never heard anything after that but changed dentists due to location. I get a copy of my credit report last month and see there is a collection for this dentists office. I contact them direct and was told my insurance denied the claim. My coverage was active at the time of service conducted. I called the insurance carrier and was told the dental office NEVER even submitted the claim to them. So, the dental office is going to submit the claim to the insurance now but says they still can charge me the fee that it cost them to turn it over to the collection agency. i dont feel this is right because the $38 fee would never had to happen if the dental office had submitted the claim like they were supposed to. I was referred to this dental office by the insurance company's website so I know they accepted the insurance. Is this a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act somehow?
--------------------
You definately should not be held responsible for the collection agency fee. Since you had provided the insurance info at time of service, the dental office is at fault by failing to submit a claim and they should waive the fee. I agree that you should contact the insurance carrier and request something in writing to prove the dental office failed to file a claim. You should also send disputes to the CRA's for the trade lines that are being reported. You might click on my profile and click on the last link I have listed. Do some reading or ask any question you may have in the Medical Forum. You will also be able to find letter templates to use for your disputes.

Best kind of Private insurance for self employed...?

My husband and I are self employed in Colorado, and we need good health insurance with dental and vision, and lots of good coverage... what is the best insurance company for this?
--------------------
You will need to contact an independent agent in CO. That agent can shop the market for you to find the best plan. Some states have a guaranteed issue policy for the self employed if you have health issues. The independent agent will know if CO has such a plan. Be careful when looking at "affordable group plans" for the self-employed. Many of those plans have daily limits. For example, they'll only pay $400 or so per day if you go into the hospital. Also the deductible is per occurrence, not per year. So if you have 3 accidents or illnesses in a year you pay the deductible each time. They also have very restrictive limits on how much they pay for many other procedures. On a regular "traditional" health plan you have just one deductible and fewer restrictions. Also stay away from Medical Discount Scams (oops, I meant to say "Medical Discount Plans"). If you can find a doctor that actually accepts the plan you're paying about the same as if you'd paid cash. If you are tempted to get one of these plans make sure to call some of the doctors on the provider list to see if they actually do take the plan. Also, if you're lucky enough to save the 60% or so on hospital bills that they say, if you get hit with a $200,000 hospital bill that leaves you paying $80,000.
