It's open enrollment this week.  I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the company/policy.

i have the 6 month plan and used it to the max this past spring/summer.   it made a huge difference to finances but it's one of those things you don't ever want to use - so you go into it pretty much hoping it's a waste of money! 

 

but for me, since i'd only signed up a couple of months earlier it was very cost effective at that point!

i used to have their dental plan. which was awesome but i needed a lot of dental work and some things don't "kick in" for awhile. like i think i had to wait 6 months for fillings and a year for a crown. but after that, i could use $1500 a year. it covered pretty much half of crowns and fillings, the visits were practically free. saved me a bundle of money over the 3 or 4 years i had it.

I have the option for the dental one too.  

 

The problem with my healthcare right now, is that the copayments are pretty high.. $50 for a specialist and I need a fereffal, so say I want to go to the podiatrist, it will cost me $30 for the Primary visit to get a referral, and then $50 for the specialist.  so it would cost me $80 just to go to the foot doctor.... so of course, I don't go... (not that anything is urgent thankfully)
