Important news for our Blue Shield of California clients who are currently on individual and family plans. If you miss a payment, and exceed your grace period, they will no longer reinstate you after January 1, 2010. In these cases you will have to reapply for coverage and be subject to medical review once again. You are not guaranteed approval, even though you were a recent member.
We will make every effort to give you updates if you show late on payments. Not only will we send you email reminders, Blue Shield will also send you late payment notices via mail. Make sure to send in your premium, or contact us to set up monthly automatic payments via credit card or checking account to avoid cancellation.

I am trying to determine if dental insurance for me is really worth the cost. I mean, it’s not similar to medical insurance, where you may have a major injury or illness, and have to go to the hospital for an extended period of time. What’s the worst thing, financially, that can happen to your teeth? And whatever that is, I’m sure your dental insurance is set up to not pay for that, at least not all of it. What’s wrong with this situation?
