my dental insurance (green shield) claims are filed electronically by my dentist as part of the billing procedure. I put my dental bill on VISA (and collect those valuable Green Stamps Aeroplan Points), and the cheque from Green Shield arrives within 10 days, nearly always before the VISA bill arrives, and invariably before I have to pay it.
Of course, when I go to see Barrymycutegaydoctor (GP) [or any specialists he chooses to send me to], I flash my OHIP card and that's the last I see of billing procedures. No cash passes through my hands at all.
You're right. Health/dental insurance IS simpler here in the Great White North.
