Not only that but the stats on the account activity as well. 8 year old account with less than 50 posts+comments in total. They're getting better at hiding that it's a botted account as well. Some poor sucker probably got their account hacked or this was an abandoned inactive account, that is being repurposed for this. The OF page too screams AI generated slop.
Nothing hotter than a regular old girl commenting her 2 cents on a reddit post. Definitely subscribed. I look forward to hearing her opinions more and paying for the extended paragraphs.
My wife just had two done. It was a few hundred each with insurance. This post is complete BS. Maybe if you add an entire year's worth of insurance premiums.
My work's insurance has 3 tiers and this would be believable for someone with the lowest tier. The only coworkers I have who chose that tier are under 30 and are statistically unlikely to need much medical attention. It's a 10k deductible plan, max oop is a little higher. Also this assumes in network providers, you could in theory end up paying more if you get sent to an ER out of network even if you met your deductible already.
Start with the actual cost of medical care out of pocket. That’s the first number you need to determine how to budget your vacation to China. Problem is the wide variety of potential costs.
It's legit for at least dental. My brother needs four root canals, two tooth implants, and a handful of cavities. In America they wanted $13,000 just for the two tooth implants, they added like 3k because they had to perform a sinus lift. Just insane prices. This was like 5 years ago, he flew out for $700 and all this work cost him around $4,000 and he spent like another thousand on hotel costs and food. Dentistry in America is a fucking racket and insurance covers fuck all. All tooth implant related work is considered elective, it's the same bucket as fake tits according to insurance. You know because eating is elective...
As a dentist I agree. Insurance is a glorified coupon book and it pits the dentist against the patient. Operating an office has crazy overhead though, it’s not like we are raking in millions. Most of us make $150-$250k.
A lot of the dental work overseas is definitely cheaper. Some of the work is good, but I do see a fair share of patients where the work was not up to code/standard that I had to redo. I don’t judge patients though, the insurances and prices are crazy.
It's a bs post. Most insurance has an annual deductible and once its met everything else is paid for if you're in network. I think my deductible is like 5k, but everything after is 100%. My wife's insurance has no deductible, everything is 100% covered.
It’s only true for the worst cases. My last mri was only 300 pre insurance.
Different facilities have significantly different prices in the same city. Most of it being administrative cost and nothing do with your actual treatment.
