So back in December my impacted wisdom teeth was giving excruciating pain and so I looked at my dental insurance Aetna and went to an in-network Dentist office near my work. The Dentist office took my insurance and submitted the claim to the insurance, but after not getting a response from the insurance company, they told me that I could get a reimbursement for the wisdom tooth extractions (3 teeth) since they said it was basically without doubt that I would be covered. And so they charged my credit card and I had the procedure done.
Now it's March and I haven't gotten a reimbursement and I called my dental insurance and they're saying they won't cover it b/c it's impacted wisdom teeth and that's medical. They then redirected me to my medical insurance who now says that this Dentist for medical is Out of Network and they probably can't cover...
Does anyone know what to do in this situation? Is it possible to appeal my dental or medical insurance? Or ask the Dental Office to help send a letter of some sort? The bill was extremely large and I will have difficulty paying off my credit card now..
Please please give any tips or advice
