[Guest guest]

Amy,

HeathSelect Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas approved my surgery the

first try. I had surgery almost 3 weeks ago and haven't seen how

well they are paying yet.

--- I have Health Net and was approved the very first time also. No

problems whatsoever.... I have only had one of two surgeries so far

(sarpe) I have one more to go lower, genio and possible upper. If I

remember correctly my insurance also approved the genio.....for some

reason I can't seem to find my approval letter. Surgeon must have

it......Good luck and I will keep my fingers crossed for you and your

surgery approval. I am grateful I didn't have any problems, I will

pass my smooth approval vibes your way........TLC

Hey, Amy...

I have United Health Care, and according to my surgeon, with whom I

just visited this AM, says they are the best at paying for

maxofacillal surgery, and that most companies don't pay for it

anymore. I switched from Aetna/US Healthcare for that reason -- they

are among the worst, according to the surgeon.

I have not had any problems getting pre-approval for my upper (3-

piece Lefort). Of course, we'll see how everything plays out in the

end when he submits his bill. As he is out of network, I will

probably end up paying 30% of his fee, which will be substantial.

Best of luck to you! Nine days to go for me...

Yes, Lynda -- you're right. I forgot to add that the procedure is

under my medical plan (United Healthcare).

Now, the chore is going to be to get them to pay for my surgical

wires, which my ortho put in, and cost $1675!

Hi Amy, right now I have blue BCBS as an insurance provider. At first they

also said no way to the proceedure. From what I understand, it has alot to do

with how the claim is submitted. Most companies will not pay this benefit under

dental, but will cover it under a medical necessity proceedure called TMJ. Ask

your doctor and your insurance company to see if you are diagnosed with TMJ and

if your plan will cover it. Good Luck.
