Is healthcare free during residency? Ie will our insurances cover dental care and other healthcare?

Residency is a job. Like every job, they will advertise the base salary. You will have taxes and various other things deducted from that (like social security). Health insurance will also be deducted, the amount of which depends on the program itself and the plan you pick.btw, if the salary is 70k is that before deduction for health insurance and malpractice insurance?? Thanks!
Not really, but I have a family to support with my residency salary, as well as a loan, so trying to do my calculations far in advance.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, at my program we have a monthly fee taken from our paycheck (a little bit more if you need to cover families too), and all health care is zero cost to the residents. No deductible, no copay, no limits. The resident insurance plan is better than the one the attendings get.Ask the residents when you interview what they pay. During residency, I paid no monthly premium but had relatively high costs when I needed to use it.

Highly variable from program to program. I had no premiums and phenomenal insurance as a resident, vs a monthly premium and so-so insurance as a fellow. Your salary will be the # listed before taxes and any premiums expected from the residents (which aren't always there), but the program will pay the malpractice insurance for you 100% of the time (so don't worry about that).Is healthcare free during residency?

Is 2800 the take home pay on a 50k pgy1salary?if the pgy 1 salary is 70k, then you are living in a pretty expensive area...while it will vary, your take home will probably be around 2800 +/- 500/ month. This will depend on how much in taxes, insurance, association fees, etc you have taken out.
