I hope you good souls can give me some guidance here. I'm working with a single mother whose 8 yr old son is going thru orthodontia treatment now. She has changed jobs 2 months ago and now again starts a new one in Sept so her current group plan is out end of month.
Humana/Silver PPO off-exchange has the childrens dental but orthodontia benefits not really explained. She wants to know if they will cover his remaining treatment and how much is her portion. How do I answer that?
I called CSR and really, they don't know. Best answer is the dentist would have to send in the paperwork and the claims dept would sort out what they would pay. Very vague..I guess it's still considered cosmetic? tho client says his primary dentist insists he needs it.
Is there a generic answer for this case? Should I do a 3 way call with the co or just have her call the company direct? I don't want to get roped into an e&o claim.
