Why are they able to get away with this?!


Question:

Why are they able to get away with this?

My son needs orthognathic surgery. Our medical insurance won't pay for it because they say it is a dental problem. Our dental insurance won't pay for it because they say it is a medical problem. Why are insurance companies allowed to just say no to a needed procedure?

Answers:

There is absolutely such thing as orthodontic surgery (sorry Dave R)
The same thing comes up with TMJ- for some people it is under their dental insurance and some its medical. same with your sons surgery. it depends on your insurance policy. sometimes neither will pay it and insurance companies will try to get out of paying even if they are supposed to. Read all your insurance booklets very closely and see if you can find anything on this. I would start with medical. It may just not be covered under either plan. good luck
