Does braces covered by dental insurance or medical insurance?
Question:
Answers:
It is covered under your dental insurance, if your plan has that type of coverage. Call your dental insurance company and ask them, because every policy is different. You probably will have a deductible, then a percentage that you have to pay, and sometimes insurance only covers up to a maximum (like 1000 or 2000 dollars) you really just have to call and ask.
Usually they pay for some but not all and you are lucky if they pay for half
More often than not they do not cover "Genetic Defects" (i.e. problems that you were born with) sometimes you can find ways around it but usually that is the case, unless you can prove that it is somehow seriously impairing your health and needs to be fixed.
It varies by your provider a lot
Some insurance will have a once in a life time orthodontic treatment benefit coverage. Medical only covers child with extreme bad aligned teeth. Best way for you to find out is to call your insurance or read your insurance benefit. If you don't have time to do that give your insurance info to a dental or ortho office they will do a run down for you.
it depends if your coverage covers it. If it does, maybe only a certain percentage.
