Reply #38: File an appeal. They are one of those who automatically deny things 1st filing.

There are insurance co's who do that and I think DD is one of them. Speaking from experience. I had an abscess, went to my dentist, referred to (endodontist?). They refused to pay him since it was "an appointment for the same tooth within 30 days". I appealed, wrote a letter and called explaining the situation (of COURSE it was within 30 D since it was an emergency referral) and the paid.

So, file an appeal with them, don't just pay if they deny you. Get a letter/report from your dentist and the oral surgeon and send those to DD.

I hate insurance co's like that, but they are out there. Good luck.
