BUT if you find a dentist you like, its definitley better than using a dentist simply because they are participating in your plan.
Wow. I don't live in FL, but have live in multiple states and have never had to pay up front when I had insurance.

I wonder if it has to do with the high number of the transients (workers) and snowbirds that visit FL.
