insurance coverage for surgery??

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of any good insurance coverage that does cover

orthognathic surgery? I know most of our situations are different,

and coverage varies but if anyone has any good leads I would

appreciate it. This surgery is expensive and I don't think I can

pay for it out of pocket.

Your posts are very inspiring to me for this surgery, it really

seems like a challenging time going through it and the post op.

My daughter had jaw surgery 5 weeks ago after trying to get

insurance coverage for a year and a half. Our first try failed after

several appeals and even after an appeal to the State Insurance

Board. My husband then got a new job and new insurance with Cigna

who finally agreed to cover the surgery after 2 appeals. My advice

is to not give up and be sure that all the providers involved in

your care write letters showing medical necessity/functional

deficit. Good luck!

I have Blue Shield of California. My surgery was approved on the

first submission, and covered in full. Either I have really good

insurance, or had a really messed up bite. They paid $75,000 for

upper, lower, and genioplasty. (Nope, that wasn't a typo, they

actually covered my genioplasty!) I paid $600 out-of-pocket for

three nights in the hospital. Hope this helps!

I have BCBS of Georgia (Federal). They approved and paid for 90% of my

surgery costs, which was $21500. They did not pay for my genioplasty.

I ended up paying about $4000 out of pocket.

Take care,

Humana is covering my surgery after having been denied twice even with

an appeal to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. I'm paying $3k out of

pocket for upper, lower, and genio.
