I did my income tax return this morning. I didn't realize you can claim extra medical expenses, including dental, so I put in a claim for my tooth. The thing I'm choked about is that on December 23, I got my last procedure done, and I was willing and able to pay, but they were "too busy" with Christmas shit to let me pay, so they sent me a bill to

well, i hope you are at least getting some $$ back?

yeah, I'm at least getting $304 instead of the $41 I was supposed to without the dental thing. Still, I could've gotten $420 back! grr. In the overall scheme of things it's pretty small pittance, considering I paid $3,000 for an itty bitty tooth, I get $260 back... better than a poke in the eye, sure.

Good lord. $3k for a tooth? Doesn't city hall have a dental plan?
Tom and I are lucky. We're covered 100% for basic and 75% for major dental work (with no maximum)... but $3k??? that's insane!

yeah, it's insane. City has a paltry coverage of 80% for basic and 50% for stuff like crowns and bridges. Since I waived the bridge option, the insurance company considers this as a cosmetic option. Ergo, uncovered. You guys are lucky, indeed!
