My 10 yro daughter had 8 teeth removed at the oral surgeon's last month. This was a necessity as there simply is not enough room for all of her teeth. Of those 8 teeth, 4 were baby teeth and 4 were adult, one of which was bony-impacted and required surgery.
Because we are "out of network" the oral surgeon required us to pay up front for his services, so we paid $1,700, $450 of which was for general anesthesia.
Imagine our shock and disgust when we learned that Cigna will not cover general anesthesia for oral surgery unless there are TWO bony-impacted teeth or more to be removed! The surgeon's office has appealed to the medical portion of our plan as well as urging and RE-URGING Cigna to reconsider, but they're firm and they've denied the claim twice. These retards actually see no reason why a 10 year old child would need general anesthesia while surgery is being performed in her mouth!
