RE: Office anesthesia by board certifed Oral surgeon/anesthesiologist

[Guest guest]

Hello ,

We will gladly verify the insurance for every referral made to this office. Each insurance has different benefits. It has been our experience that when we write a letter to the insurance companies about justification for anesthesia related to dental procedures, we stand a better chance of insurance coverage.

However, since each policy is different, I cannot give you a blanket answer.

We are aware of the issues that arise when trying to provide treatment to special needs children. These are the points we use to justify insurance coverage. Anesthesia provides calmness, compliance, reduction of fear and safety for the child. It also allows the dentist to perform procedures for a greater length of time reducing the amount of visits necessary to maintain good dental health.

Perhaps you have more details about the A. Geller Autism Coverage Act. Does "medically necessary treatment" which is covered under this bill, refer to medical and dental care as well as behavioral treatment?

Look forward to hearing from you.

H. Kates, DDS, PA | Anesthesia for Dental HealthMany children do not recieve appropriate dental care due to fear and non-compliance with assesment and follow-up procedures to maintain dental health. Children with Autism and related disorders can receive treatment in a fully monitored, stress-free environment while they sleep. Our mission is to provide special needs children with the highest standard of patient care and safety while undergoing extensive dental treatment. Your child may have an inability to cooperate with the dental treatment or surgery. Anesthetic medications will be administered to comfortably allow your child to "sleep" through the procedure. This is performed in a safe, controlled, and monitored setting, thus allowing your child's dentist or surgeon to provide the highest quality of pain-free and comprehensive dental care. Most patients who undergo anesthesia report no memory of receiving their dental/surgical treatment, therefore, making this method the safest and most comfortable experience for special needs children.Let us help. We welcome working as a team with your general dentist, or we can offer a referal from our network of professionals.Please call us to schedule an evaluation.1 NE 168th Street N. Miami Bch., Fl. 33162
