More on dentists and Delta Dental

I've read various accounts of the problems with dentists dropping out of the Delta Dental plan. However, what has not been mentioned is that fact that all three of the Santa Fe and Los Alamos periodontists have quit the plan. Therefore, if someone requires the services of a periodontist who is a member of the plan, they must go to Albuquerque.

I personally will not jeopardize my years of treatment by switching dentists at this point. So I will just have to pay up front and hope that I get reimbursed at least a portion of the fees in a timely manner.
