Anyone have PRE-EXISTING CONDITION insurance complicatoins?

[Guest guest]

I wasn't too worried about getting insurance approval, based on my

surgeon's telling me that I shouldn't have anything to worry about

regarding medical necessity, etc.

But now I'm starting to worry, because my insurance company has

launched an investigation into an UNRELATED claim I made for another

minor surgery I had in late December. Apparently, since I had only

had

coverage with them since November 1st, it raised a red flag when I

submitted a moderate-sized claim just 2 months in.

So it seems as though they're real sticklers for the 'pre-existing

condition' thing. Is it possible that they'll look at my ortho pre-

authorization claim I plan on submitting this summer for my August

surgery and refuse to cover it based on an argument that it was a

'pre-

existing condition'. While it's true that a few general dentists I

have seen had previously commented on my open bite and thrown out the

idea that ortho would fix it, I had never really considered the

surgery

seriously until I switched to my current (much better) health

coverage.
