I am getting health insurance through my employer but it does not include dental. If I have to get oral surgery, (after being referred by my dentist) could it be covered under my regular medical insurance?(since it is surgery and would not be done by my dentist, but by an oral surgeon) I realize I can find this out from the Insurance company, but I don't have the cards yet and the oral surgery is not certain. I would just like to be prepared before this all comes about.

Your health insurance likely covers all types of necessary surgery as ordered by a doctor. (not elective surgery like breast implants) If your insurance does not have dental, that means it will not cover work or products done by a dentist. Oral surgery is usually done by an oral surgeon and is usually covered. Your plan document will spell that out or you should be able to call the benefits hotline for confirmation.

I have dental insurance and medical health insurance. They both denied to pay for the oral surgery. I am writing a complaint against dental insurance and I was advices to get medical insurance states the reason of their denied so the insurance commissioner's office can process and expedite the matter so I can have approve from dental insurance quicker. Medical insurance do not pay for dental but they pay for accident oral cyst and nothing relate to the teeth.

my dental insurance company is telling me that federal Law requires me to get a denial from my medical insurance before they can pay for my wisdom teeth extraction. This seems ridiculous to me . Is this true

It should be covered by medical, you should double check with your provider beforehand. My sister got her teeth out (impacted) and it was covered by her medical.

If you need dental work done on your teeth, you'll need to have dental insurance or pay the dental bill on your own.
