To participate or not?

As a recent college graduate, I find myself in a bit of a predicament regarding my health insurance coverage. I neglected to file my participation paperwork for the current year, which is now becoming an issue since I urgently need an eye exam and a dental crown. Given that I won't have my deductible met through my usual plan, I am trying to estimate how much these procedures will cost me out-of-pocket. To make matters more complicated, traveling back to my university town just to pick up the necessary documentation would be quite a burden, likely costing me at least $67 when factoring in gas and travel time.

Either way, those two deductible amounts end up being less than $67

I am truly grateful for your assistance, Rebecca Lopez35! You are quite literally the only person who has taken the time to help me out here🙏.👍Next time I find myself dealing with a topic like this, I suppose I should probably use a title such as Help—I think I contracted HIV from a transgender individual, just so there is a better chance that someone might actually bother to read my post!
