Hello all! I am new to this group...

[Guest guest]

I am new to this group and am excited to find out more about the

surgery I am trying to get done. I have been in need of Orthognathic

Surgery since I've been little. I was going to get braces when I was

11, but had brain surgery instead. I am fine now, but have had to

deal with an uncomfortable and embarrassing overbite for the

majority of my life. I can't close my mouth properly. So a few years

ago I finally decided to get it fixed, went to a consultation with

an Oral Surgeon and when I was told the pricetag on a new mouth I

thought twice and have continued to push it aside. I recently got

married and while the day was amazing and beautiful-half of my mind

was always worrying about the photographer, whether or not he was

going to catch a horrible shot of my teeth hanging out. I doubt that

most brides could say they had that worry on their minds on their

wedding day. So I've had enough. I'm making it my New Year's

resolution to get this started for real. I guess my main concern

right now is how in the world will I afford it? My insurance already

declined it when I went in for that first consultation. Does anyone

have any advice on this matter? I have been reading your posts and

they are so encouraging. I wish the best of luck to you all! Thank

you in advance for any advice!

Hi, just had my surgery approved by my insurance co.

They deny the first request, it is standard. But my

Dr. kept writinng letters and finally they gave in.

Have your Dr. plead your case. It works but you have

to keep trying. Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice. I will re-submit as soon as I find an OS I am

sure of. So the doctor has to write the letters? Would it help if I

did too or do they pay attention to that?

Thanks!

I was told advised by my OD to let the OS handle all the filing of

requests. They are better equipped to handle the insurance company's.
