Want to go through procedure, need to know how to go about it

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I posted about a year ago, after I visited my oral surgeon. I

recently graduated college, and just started working a new job. I

have already made the decision to have the procedure taken care of,

and am wondering when and how to approach it to give myself the best

chance of having the procedure covered by insurance. I know the

braces will probably not be covered by insurance, any tips or advice

on what type of braces to get, or what the approximate cost of braces

will be?

Of course, being new at my job, insurance doesn't kick in until after

90 days, so I won't be covered by any insurance until mid april, I

assume I shouldn't get the process started until then right? Does

anyone know how hard/easy it is to deal with Pacificare in terms of

coverage?

I was told a year and a half for braces, and two weeks recovery for

the surgery, because I am only doing lower jaw movement, is this

realistic? Sorry to ask all these questions, but this is a major

decision for me, and I don't know very much about how to go about

this in the right way, especially in terms of dealing with insurance,

which could save me over 9 grand. Any input would be greatly

appreciated.
