Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Everyone's insurance is different. Our braces were $4600 and the ortho gave us $1000 off and our dental insurance paid $1000 so we will pay a total of $2600 out of pocket. We are still fighting our medical insurance (after the surgery). We have had to pay $3800 to the surgeon, $4880 to the hospital and $1090 to the anethesiologist. From past posts at this site our costs have been dramatically less than others. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 My insurance (Empire BC/BS) wouldn't cover my surgery. They paid the hospital bill, about 15k if I recall correctly. I had to cover the surgeon and anesthesiologist - about 15k more. My wife said " no Porsche for you this year " , LOL. Best of luck to you for both the surgery and insurance. --Neil > I'm planning on having upper and lower jaw surgery. I have MVP > insurance.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Does anyone have experience with MVP insurance coverage for orthognathic surgery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
