Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I have been trying to have orthognathic surgery since the beginning of 2003. The process began in 2000 when I had my impacted wisdom teeth and 4 additional teeth removed. My orthodintic treatment began in January 2000. The plan was for me to have upper and lower orthognathic surgery by early 2003; however my insurance denied my claim. At the time I was about to turn 21 and I couldn't afford to pay $10,000. Well, I just started a new plan year with my insurance carrier and they informed me that the surgery is now covered under my plan...But, I'm still a little nervous because it's still approved on a case by case basis. Hopefully, it will be approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
