This is so frustrating

simplyn2deepWhy does stuff happen in the middle of the month!?
I found a dentist who is accepting new adult patients but they don't accept mid-month insurance transfers...so if I was going to have any kind of dental work done, I'd have to pay out of pocket!
I don't freaking have $1300 or however much it would be for a crown replacement to be done!
And! I don't even know if it can be done because there's not much of my original tooth left for the crown to be attached to!
I'm over here tearing up wondering how I'm going to eat, and that's not me being a fattie either.
It's probably not healthy to live off of meal replacement shakes, but I might have to for a while until I can see a dentist and see what work needs to be done, how much it's going to be, and how much my insurance will cover.
Thankfully, a crown in my case isn't cosmetic, so I'm sure my insurance will cover it.
I looked up what my dental plan covers and it looks like as long as the whole crown process isn't more than $1800, the insurance will cover it.
But I'm still stuck as to what to do for the next 17 days.
I think this is a case of sticking with where I'm currently at, waiting for the video consult and eventual referral, and hope that it isn't longer than 17 days?
This is so stupid. Logically, I understand why dental offices aren't accepting new patients but when an emergency comes up with a patient who already has their insurance with you (and just hasn't made the first appt), an exception should be made to see them...which I guess that's what this video consult will be.
