"so my ex said, try something new" ... that's an L3 at least -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 09:44
Benefits question: My wife got dental through her work for the family, and so did I (for 4 days) in January. Can we "double-up" insuarance? - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:35 10
- there is a pro-rata clause in almost all insurance policies - they would typically end up splitting the costs - Epiphany Jan 21, 09:38
- Yes...it's called primary and secondary insurance. Check the plans though...as with most insurance companies, there are contracts. - Jim Jan 21, 09:37 3
  - Interesting. Thanks. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:38 2
    - Your best bet would be to call each plan and tell them what you have and see what they cover. - Jim Jan 21, 09:40 1
      - exactly. thanks. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:41
