We also anticipate fighting with John's Ins. Co. as some point down the road because all but 4 capped front teeth and part of his lower jaw bone were removed during his cancer surgery. I've read his Med coverage very carefully and I believe it states that dental work done as a result of a medical problem is to be covered. That being said, we had to fight to get the teeth extraction part of the surgery paid to the surgeon. If I have to, I will hire a lawyer when the time comes for John to have dentures or any lower jaw reconstruction. I am learning every day that fighting the ins. folk is just part of their game plan. They hope we will either get lost in the paperwork or give up. So my advice to you is HANG TOUGH! Amy
