Wait what?
Bottom line: the second highlighted bit that says orthognathic surgery jaw alignment is covered. I guess what happened is that whoever reviewed my case did not understand anything, and thought I was getting jaw surgery as treatment for sleep apnea. My dad hastily wrote an appeal to this decision, stating that I what I was getting was orthognathic surgery, a functional necessity that should be covered under insurance. This morning, I received this letter:
Covered -yay!
Phew, that saved a couple thousand dollars! Surgery's still not free, and my parents had to pay a deductible, but this sure helped a lot. Insurance companies are annoying things-- I'm so fortunate to have parents in the medical field who know how to deal with them!
