Does Jaw surgery fall under medical or dental insurance???

#1 Post by Future »

I am totally confused. :? If one is to have surgery on their jaw, would this coverage be assessed by the medical insurance or dental insurance? My medical and dental insurance are affiliated, I believe, but still are quite different in terms of coverage. My dental is quite limited but my medical, which is Cigna, is pretty large. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

My braces were covered under dental but the surgery, hospital stay, and related medications were all covered under medical. And it took some convincing to get them to cover the surgery.
