All insurances are different, and dental insurance often only pays a small portion of dental issues anyway. I've had a number of procedures done by an oral surgeon, and some are covered by my medical insurance - such as a biopsy.

I'm glad you found an ENT to do the biopsy, and I truly hope that it proves to be something minor. Good luck with the root canal repair, and have the OS check out the patches you noticed.
