Re: Anyone have luck getting independent insurance

Just an opinion. I suspect that an independent policy would be the least likely to cover an implant. I base this on the presumption that the independents are aiming their policies towards to dollar conscious consumers. Any coverage that they can not cover just allows them to shave a little off of t...

Re: Anyone have luck getting independent insurance

hey there thanks for the reply- so let me ask, are you saying its that going with an independent insurance company they arent going to cover a implant with someone like Dr.Clavell Maybe or not. Insurance differs from state to state a bit due to each state responsible for it's own health care. Each ...

Re: Anyone have luck getting independent insurance

Not really the exact deal you are talking about, but I did buy my own health insurance and I will explain to you why it is best to just save up the money or take out a loan for the surgery. I live in a low population state and insurance has run health care here for many years. The insurance companie...

Re: Hello after 4 months of implantation i can go to dentist ;

I was the same as some of the other posts. I have permanent metal staples in my left foot. For several years after they were placed, I was required to take antibiotics before a cleaning.

Re: Medicare vs Private Insurance

I had both of my surgeries done with self purchased insurance. My insurance was an EPO plan. Basically insurance covered it (well some of it) and they told me who I had to go to for it. Same with anything else I had trouble with. In other words Insurance controlled my medical care. I decided to self...
