Insurance Advice
It's not much, but when you head into those specialty areas, the one's not covered by the general practitioner where you tread the line between dental, optical or whatever, this happens often when each want to push the burden off on the other.
Bottom line, if it's not covered under your dental, then it should definitely be covered by your medical. And your doctor should be your best advocate and if needed, assist you with a letter to your insurance carrier. But first, you may want to make the call to your insurance, ask to speak to a manager. Explain the situation, not just about what happened, but how it is tied to your past. This is where your doctor's support comes in.
It'll still be an argument, but what can it hurt, especially if by some chance, your insurance covers...

Thanks for the advice. It sounds like good advice. I will call and talk to my insurance carriers first. It will no doubt be an argument, but everything seems to be lately when dealing with medical bills.0
