Jerry,

Thank you. GEHA and Delta were the two recommendations for my dentist's office. But didn't know whether there recommendation was based on what was best for the patient or which plans paid the quickest (hence best for the dentist) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hope all is well in West Virginia.

Rick, we're doing fine, still alive and kicking. Hope all is well with you. FYI, when Tricare decided to drop Delta Dental I had to start shopping for a new dentist. I was talking to the insurance rep at one of the dentists I was considering, and she recommended GEHA. Told me it was a cut above any other dental insurance they took. Yukie and I have been very happy with it. Good luck with your search!

Jerry,

Glad to hear all is well with you and appreciate your insight into dental insurance. Please tell Yukie that Namiko says hi.

Dave,
