Question:
Health First is what I have for now. I heard it's not that
popular with dental services because doctors don't make much
out of it. All I need now is teeth cleaning and some advice
for some cavities in development. But I wish I can build a
good relation with a dentist because I need one down the
road.
I have the directory from the plan, but to me it's hard to
know which dentist is good. I read a bit about posts here,
some of you are dentists and are actually from NYC. I wish
some of you can recommend a few good dentists in Manhattan
or Queens area who take Health First plan. Ideally they
offer their service disregarding what plan the patients
have.
For the future, what are good plans I should get for dental
care?
Answer:
I know nothing about Health First, and only heard recently that there
are dental benefits. I have no idea who might be on the list, but if
you e-mail a list to me (remove mung in the addy) I can tell you if I
recognize any names.
Access to affordable health care is one of America’s most critical
issues. The cost of the uninsured is a burden shared by everyone. The
goal of Health First America is to provide working Americans access to
affordable basic health insurance - a necessary step in reversing the
rising cost of health care. This affordable and accessible insurance
benefit plan helps attract and retain quality employees.
Comprehensive major medical insurance is expensive and beyond the
means of most of the working uninsured. Health First America provides
a portfolio of affordable basic health insurance plans, including
prescription drugs, and valuable medical services discount programs.
Health First America is not comprehensive major medical insurance and
should not be considered a replacement for any existing major medical
coverage. It is, however, a valuable alternative for employers who do
not provide major medical insurance for all of their employees.
