I'm changing the status of my job. What would be the best supplemental health insurance?

I'm a healthy female with no pre-existing conditions. Would it be best to get Blue Cross/Blue Shield. I do need medical, dental, vision, short term disability and long term disability.
--------------------
For medical I would go with a HSA compatible high deductible health insurance, not necessarily BC/BS. There are many available out there. HSA stands for health savings account. For dental and vision I would recommend http://e-healthplus.com

If you lose 1 tooth, do you have to get the rest pulled?

Tooth loss question: 1 friend says that the tooth that came out will require me to have the rest pulled out and then dentures, another says not true, that just because one decayed, the rest can probably be saved. Anyone have experience with this here, I am extremely fearful of dentist, this tooth came out a year ago, the one next to it, the top broke off today, now I'm getting freaked out, I have no dental insurance and am worried about not only finding a good dentist but one who will take pymts.
--------------------
First off, you won't have to have all your teeth pulled.. Second, you should obviously take better care of your teeth if they're rotting and falling out. Third, it'd probably be better if you got them pulled an wore dentures if all your teeth are rotting. Fourth, don't take offence.

I have serious dental emergency and no dentist will accept Ontario Works patients!?

I am having one HELL of a time finding a dentist who doesn't laugh when I tell them I'm on Ontario Works! They all tell me that getting payment from the OW insurance company (Great West Life) would require a full-time employee doing nothing else! They also pay the dentist next to nothing! $100 tooth extraction nets the dentist $22! Is there a dentist in the Brampton, Ontario area who will accept OW patients? This is an emergency!
--------------------
I do not know if this will help you but have you tried calling Ontario works and finding out where the heck you can go? Tell them what the dentists are saying about them and that you need to know where you can go that will take you. After all if they are that bad I would think about getting some other kind of plan if possible. Also not sure if you can do this or a afford to for that matter but might be something you can do. Call the dentist and if they said the same thing as stated above tell them you would be wiling to pay in full and file the claim yourself. That way you can get the refund due you back from Ontario Works.

Would my sons school have accident insurance to cover repairing the tooth he broke at school?

A boy at my sons school knocked him down and caused my son to chip his tooth on this boys head. As a dental assistant, I know what will need to be done to repair the tooth. Of course, my boss would do the work for free, but I don't feel that he should have to pay for the cost of the materials. I have been told that schools have accident insurance to cover things like this. Is that true?
--------------------
I don't see why the school should be responsible for something an individual child did. I would handle the situation with the other boy's parents IF the child knocked him down on purpose. Accidents happen (which I realize is why people have accident insurance), but if the school wasn't being negligent, I don't see bothering with getting the school to pay for it. Besides, can you imagine all the red tape you'd get tangled in trying to get the insurance to cover it?

Can anyone tell me anything about Dental Plus ?

My daughter needs braces. Our insurance does not cover this service. I read today that there is a program that costs about $20 a month and covers up to 50% of the cost of orthodontics. There are several participating orthos in my area. Has anyone else used this ? I am always leary of stuff like this, but braces are so expensive I'm looking at all my options.
--------------------
I paid only $2000 for my braces when I was originally qouted $4500, and then worked out a payment plan with the orthodontist. All because of this great plan I have: www.healthsavings.ourperfectcard.com I signed up online over 5 years ago and they have saved me thousands since on all dental services. They even had my very affordable plan active in 2 hours and was able to use it the very same day. I believe prices may vary where you live, but the savings are incredible. Good luck and hope this helps.

LMAO! First got the job 8yrs ago and have since been lucky enough to add two additional responsibilities into the mix! Hard work it's true, but there's absolutely nothing like that first smile in the morning, the hug that starts at the other side of the room and is at full tilt when it hits you, or the sound of your 2yr old saying 'wuv you mummy'. Also teaches you to appreciate quiet, lol!
