		<description>While we are discussing about topics relevant to &quot;California Dental Insurance&quot; Indemnity Insurance Plans ; What are they?, Since the beginning of 2011, seniors on Medicare get a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs while in the &quot;Donut Hole,&quot; a gap in the Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage plan. Medicare Part D currently covers up to $2,700 per year in prescription drug payments then stops paying for medications until costs exceed $6,100. This means Medicare Part D coverage recipients are responsible for paying all their own drug costs between $2,700 and $6,100. This gap in coverage will be eliminated completely by 2020.</description>

		<description>Thanks Olivia for the info on the Golden West dental plan. My buddy has it and sent me this breakdown for the cost of filings. Seems they are pretty good. I check to see if the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goldenwestdentalplan.com/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;local dentist&lt;/a&gt; was accepts by the California ADA and all checks out.

Restorative Amalgam Restorations (Including Polishing) 
2110  Amalgam - One Surface - Primary  $6  
2120  Amalgam - Two Surfaces - Primary  $11  
2130  Amalgam - Three Surfaces - Primary  $13  
2131  Amalgam - Four or More Surfaces - Primary  $19  
2140  Amalgam-One Surface - Permanent  $8  
2150  Amalgam-Two Surfaces - Permanent  $13  
2160  Amalgam-Three Surfaces - Permanent  $21  
2161  Amalgam-Four or More Surfaces - Permanent  $24  
2332  Resin Restoration - Three Surfaces - Anterior  $28  
2335  Resin Restoration - Four or More Surfaces - Anterior  $34  

These were the costs I found that you would pay. Is this correct?

Thanks, SW.</description>
