My husband will have to get teeth implants because of cancer of the mandible (it was replaced) 3 years ago. Would you believe the insurance co (Anthem blue cross blue shield ) had okayed it last year, but he had to have one more surgery to remove scar tissue from under his tongue this January and now the insurance company is refusing to pay.
I remember years ago, maybe 30 yrs, my friend had to have a double masectamay and her insurance refused it, but they fought the insurance co and they paid for implants. Now what is the difference? I know its a psychological thing more than a needed replacement. My husband's side of his face is caving in a little and it's very difficult for him to eat. People can see that but they can't see someone's breast implants (at least I hope not) lol. I hope I make sense.
