Dental Indemnity Plans? Does anyone have experience dealing with this type of dental insurance (Dental Indemnity Plans)? How does it differ from regular dental insurance? My health insurance offers it as an option, and it looks attractive to me because it allows me to go to any dentist, not just ones in their "network". However, the annual cap is $1000. The premiums end up being about $500 anyway, and I am wondering about how much of a hassle they give to people when claims are submitted. Is it even worth it? Albert, thanks for the link. I got a quote from them. It looks like something that I might want. I am wondering though, have they raised the premium frequently? I hate when I start on something, then they keep raising the rates every 6 months.

Can someone please explain health insurance to me? I'm looking for individual health insurance and it is very confusing. Can someone explain what things like deductible, copay, and coinsurance mean? Also, what's the difference between a PPO, Network, Indemnity, and a HSA-qualified plan? Lastly, how do I know exactly what is covered before I apply? People have sent me things in the mail and I'm looking online and I was given a list of things covered, but then it says that this isn't everything and once I sent in my payment I will get a full list of my policy and coverages. That seems shady, and these are top companies like Aetna and Health America, so I don't think they would rip me off. Plus, how come these companies aren't offering a bundle plan, where I can get health insurance, vision, and dental all in one plan with one monthly payment?

Self-Employed? Does anyone realize that can deduct 100% of all medical expenses using line 14 on a Schedule C? If you are self-employed and use a Schedule C, then you may ADD up ALL you medical expenses (chiropractic , dentist , optometry , health insurance premiums, any indemnity plans (AFLAC, Family Heritage, etc. premiums), your co-pays, deductibles, prescriptions drugs, and over the counter if you put the date and what it was specifically used for. EXAMPLE. Say you have 4000/yr in premiums, your deductible was 7500, your co-pays were 20 per time. Your prescriptions were 750 and 175 in overthecounter meds. SO 4000 + 7500 + 200 in co-pays + 925 in prescription and overthecounter meds + 1800 in AFLAC + 20,000 dental bill + 600 in chiropractic bills = 35,025 ou now take what sales % tx bracket you're in + your state taxes % if any + 15.3% of SS taxes you owe since you're self employed. Say you live in AR 15% + 7.5% +15.3% = 37.8% x 35,025 = 13,239.45 IN TAX WRITE OFFS..If you use Schedule F - line 17 It's called an Association 105, it's legal, by the IRS since the 50's - ask your CPA
Can an employer cease an employee on long-term disability's benefits? I was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago. I never returned to work because my doctor thinks that I have been too ill. Last year my employer called me up to tell me that they ceased my benefits because they changed insurance carriers. I lost my dental, medical, life and everything else. They gave me no notice...in fact, they told me 10 days after the insurance benefits terminated. I am working with a lawyer, and they are offering to pay me $10,000 for violating the code. They want met to sign a release and indemnity. I think I deserve more. I live in Canada. I am wondering if I should go to court or the Human Rights Tribunal. My lawyer is not fighting the way I need her to do. HELP... I was never terminated as an employee. I live in Ontario, ON. Canada.
