I had a tooth surgically pulled (extracted) and the insurance claim was filed with my medical insurance. Why doesn’t my dental insurance cover the claim?
: Depending on your group coverage, claims for surgical extraction of wisdom teeth may need to first be submitted to your medical insurance carrier and then to your dental insurance. Some medical plans pay up to 100 percent of this procedure, so filing this type of extraction with your medical insurance could be of benefit to you. If there are any remaining charges after the medical insurance carrier has paid, your dental plan may cover the remainder or a portion of the remaining balance. Contact our Customer Service department at (800) 234-3375 for specific details regarding your plan.
