Two Splints?

[Guest guest]

In the letter my OS sent to the insurance company for medical

necessity, he noted I would be having upper and lower surgery (ugh)

and two oral surgical splints prior to the date of surgery. I was

trying to come to terms with one splint! Is it customary to have two

splints with upper and lower?

He cites the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons

definition of " medical necessity " and cites corrective surgeries that

are routinely allowable, such as: scoliosis of the spine, cleft palate

and club foot. He believes my surgery request should be considered in

the same context of medical necessity.

I've got my fingers crossed.
