Indeed John.....i'm waiting for an appointment to see a consultant,my GP could have referred me privately but i declined,we do have health ins through my missuss job,i would have to pay the consultants fee and get nothing back from our insurers but would probably get any possible procedure paid for by them....they do refund half of GP fees and prescription fees,i recently got new glasses,our PRSI contribution pays for the eye test and some money(not much) off the glasses and our insurers refunded me €150 also....we also have dental cover aswell...and that's next on my list.....i'm determined to have a Hollywood smile for my 60th!!
