Why would that be in their best interest? I assumed at first that they would require it, as they do "Part B." But I am not sure now. In all this debate in Congress, there has been no mention of how HMO's will handle it. My deal right now is 100% coverage in-hospital, and a 15% discount out of hospital. They will do whatever works out best for their costs, and I will probably hear about it in a couple of months. They average about a 15% increase in monthly dues every year. That will just about eat up my yearly increase in SS payments, so it is a push. I just looked at redoing some caps that cost me $500 each five years ago. The local Dentist wants $900. For that price they can stay chipped. Dealing with JohnM these last couple of years caused me to grind them. :>)
