Will Health Insurance Pay For Wisdom Teeth Removal?
1450 POINTSview profileFred AdamsThe HSA Expert, Health Revival, Athens, GAThe answer to this question would depend on the reason for the removal. Most claims for extractions are sent to your dental insurance first, not your health insurance. If the wisdom teeth are what's called 'boney impactions', the claim will be sent to your health insurance company to coordination benefit with your dental plan, since that treatment is covered under health insurance.Answered on May 22, 2014flag this answer

But your health insurance may cover some of it, depending upon the reason for needing them removed. Normal decay probably isn't going to be covered if you don't have dental, I'm afraid. Contact your HR person, or plan administrator and ask to be certain. Thanks for asking!Answered on May 23, 2014flag this answer
