$200 fills don't sound too bad. My fills are $250 and are done without fluero. Thankfully I had three months post-op inlcuded in my surgery price. It looks like the fills I had then will last me for a while, knock on wood.

I considered changing insurance companies during dh's open enrollment period at work, but couldn't find out if things would be covered or not. I'd only be willing to switch if fills were covered.

I figure my surgery was the price of a commuter car and will last longer and be more benificial in the long run. Hopefully I won't be trading it in within 4 years.

Yes I know the insurance company is a pain in the butt. Covering anesthesia only was a riot, my surgeon's office had never heard of it happening and even called on my behalf to ocnfirm it. Now they're having their self-pay patients submitt anestesia fees with this company just in case they pick them up again.
