‘We can only hope’

Dear Editor:

RE: ‘Simple solution,’ April 25.

I received my card which made me eligible for the dental care plan beginning May 1.

In response to the letter in your editorial section, I called Sun Life. I would like to inform others you cannot apply directly to Sun Life for reimbursement. This dental plan was not well thought out by the “specialists” who created it. Millions of dollars were wasted on consultations to create a plan that at this point is useless. It’s very frustrating for the card holders.

If you could apply directly to Sun Life, it would certainly alleviate a lot of the frustration.  However, that is not the case. Sun Life will only accept claims made by the dentist who did the work, I was told.

I spoke to a “specialist” who said they are working on something that may come into effect in July. We can only hope.
