Was informed today that Sumter Landing Dental will no longer accept PCP Ins after mid October. Would appreciate any referrals.

Stop by the office in LSL - they will give you an updated list - my husband plans on trying Hallmark.

Thanks, DEWRDW, will do.

We may be paying on our own after mid October. I am not hearing anything good about Preferred Care Partners paying the dentists, or in getting work authorized in a timely manner. This is the same reason why other doctors and dentists have pulled out from PCP in the past. It's a heck of a way to do business. This is not the first time this has happened to me. I lost a wonderful oncologist because he had an impossible time getting paid by PCP. I am getting pretty tired of having my good healthcare professionals pulled out from under me. On the surface PCP looks like a really good deal. But, a closer look reveals some real problems beneath the extra frills and benefits they give us. Personally, I am ready to give up the OTC benefit, the dental coverage, which is barely a small discount on services, and the vision coverage if it means I will have good doctors and dentists who will get paid by my insurance company. Is there any other Medicare Advantage Plan that pays when they should?

Starting in October when open enrollment starts go to some of the seminars that are held in TV - I too am not real pleased with the dental and vision offered by PCP - however, so far I have no problem with the medical - we will be going to the seminars for various plans - go and ask a lot of questions - also I deal with our agent if I have any problems - good luck.

Must be new...was just in there a couple of weeks ago or so for my bi-annual cleaning. Nothing was said about a change! I'm not worried (what good does that do?)...
