I had an emergency dental appointment yesterday to deal with a horrible toothache. But that's not what this post is about :P
I finally have my new benefits plan in place with my current employer, and while I have to pay more out of pocket, this plan actually has some coverage for dentures. So, once my problem tooth was dealt with I had a chat with my dentist about my new coverage...and we're getting the pre-authorization paperwork sent in to start the process of getting my top plate done!
I will still have to pay a portion of the cost, but it is better than having to pay it all like I would have had to under my old plan. I'll be getting the approximate out-of-pocket cost once I get back the authorization from my plan administrator, and I'm hoping that the amount I've gotten so far thanks to generous folks will cover my OOP for the top plate.
I'm actually rather excited about finally not having to be ashamed of smiling! I think the only thing I'm not looking forward to is when the impression of my teeth is done because I have a very strong gag reflex, and I've been warned that it might be triggered. Bleh. But teeth!!!!
