My Insurance Doesn't Cover Tmj Posted: 10-24-07 09:55am
Just found out it doesn't cover TMJ. Does
anyone else have this problem? Is there a
way around this....I know with a Dr. what
dx they circle depends on weather the
insurance pays.
I have an appt. Friday morning and just
need answers.
Thanks,
Martha

Unfortunately most insurance companies do
not see TMJ as a medical problem, therefor
they do not cover it.

the majority of insurance excludes tmd. i
have pain well over $100,000 in the past
couple of years. treatment is expensive
but doctors will usually work out a plan
that you can handle. or you could do what
i did. save up and take it in to them
little by little untill its paid and then
start treatment.
