Okay so maybe I'm spelling it wrong, but it is a disease of the gums.
My husband is 36 and he has this. He has always been great about taking care of his teeth. He brushes 3x a day, he flosses every day, spends way more time than I do on his oral hygene. The dentist always gives me rave reviews and says great teeth! doing a great job flossing! yet, I never floss and am always in a hurry when I brush.
SO anyway, the question for anyone out there is about INSURANCE.
My husband works for a huge company (world wide company), we have great insurance, but apparently our dental sucks. He needs surgery to replace his gums! Half of his mouth will cost about $4000 and dental will only pay $1700, leaving us to pay the rest. That is just half the mouth. We tried to file a claim with medical to see if they would pick up the difference. Don't know why 100 people over at medical need to get involved in processing the claim. Depending upon who you get over there, you get a different answer. It would be so much easier to have one contact. If he does not have this procedure his teeth will eventually fall out !
He is so young!!! Any tips or ideas on how to proceed? If medical does deny the claim then we will file an appeal.
I just keep thinking of MICHAEL MOORE and SICKO....haven't even seen it yet, but know it's about the healthcare industry over all.
Thanks for any advice!
