benefits are hard!

Ok, so it’s open enrollment for my work and I’m trying to get enrolled. And because we’ve been bought, there’s a new insurance provider, and so I actually (for the first time ever) called up for advice. I’ve been going through the provider’s website, and while if there’s an emergency I can go to Alaska Regional Hospital, I can’t find any general providers or dentists that they cover.
