The cause and treatment of TMJ disorder is very controversial.
Insurance Companies believe there isn’t enough scientific research available to solidify them covering it as there are many treatment paths available for TMJ disorder. This allows insurance companies to pass the responsibility of the TMJ back and forth between medical and dental insurance without committing to either (and sometimes denying coverage for any treatment at all). Unfortunately, it is understandably difficult for an insurance company to consider paying for any treatment that is not proven to be 100% successful.
Thankfully here at AzTMJ we will gladly check with your Insurance provider for pre-authorization of Treatment as we accept most major medical insurances and fight them tooth and nail to get your treatment covered.
