Can insurance cover breast implants?
Does any dental insurance cover implants?
An increasing number of dental insurance plans are adding coverage for implants. Press releases from some of the companies announcing the coverage are available on the website of the National Association of Dental Plans in the News Section under Member News Releases. That site also has a directory o…f dental plans that can be searched by state. (See the related links.) Applicable definitions that might help to determine coverage in a particular circumstance include these: .
Implant : A support for a bridge or denture that has been surgically placed into bone .
Bridges : Non-removable tooth replacements attached to adjoining natural teeth when one or a few teeth are missing. .
Dentures : Removable artificial teeth in a plastic base that rests directly on the gums. A denture may be complete or partial depending on the number of missing natural teeth. An analysis of your dental insurance contract or plan is necessary to answer the question definitively. There may be an express inclusion of implants, or an express exclusion of them; in either of those cases the answer is easier to determine than if the contract or plan relies upon the concept of "medical/dental necessity". There, reasonable minds can differ, with the countervailing argument being that an implant is cosmetic in nature. Cosmetic procedures are nearly always excluded, at least without an accompanying medical/dental procedure is "medically/dentally necessary" and that necessitates an accompanying cosmetic procedure. If, instead of dental insurance (which is an indemnity product), you have or would be willing to purchase a discount plan, you may have a better chance of "coverage" for implants (because there is often a less strict, or no distinction between medically necessary and cosmetic procedures). I hesitate to use the word "coverage" because a discount plan does not assume risk as genuine insurance does. Instead, membership in such a plan gives a consumer access to practitioners who have agreed to extend discounts from "retail" to participants for a menu of services. Important to understand is that the consumer remains fully responsible for the payment of charges, plus the cost of membership in the plan. If you have such a plan, or are going to go this route, you also need to make sure that the selected provider continues to participate in the plan at the time that you commence services, and that the promised discount is what you receive.

Can you sTill breastfeed with BREAST IMPLANTS?
Some can, some cannot. I cannot. I had the surgery at a youthful 19...I am now 33. It was a horrible revelation for me that I couldn't breastfeed - and believe me I tried for 6 long weeks! I even asked the surgeon when I had the surgery and he told me I "should" be able to. No such luck. I have hear…d many women today can breastfeed with implant, so technology may have advanced the style of the surgery. If you are considering the surgery before having kids, I'd advise you NOT to do it. Get it done after you breastfeed! If you have already had the surgery, talk to your doctor and/or a lactation consultant. The consultants were really nice and supportive. ( Full Answer )

Unlike most dental procedures, you can expect to pay 100% of the cost of a cosmetic procedure out of your own pocket. Your dental insurance company will typically not pay for purely cosmetic procedures. Usually, insurance only covers the costs of procedures required for a functional purpose. In cases where there is both a functional and cosmetic need for a procedure, e.g. crowns that protect and improve the appearance of your teeth, and insurance companies typically only covers the amount required to protect the tooth. .
Your best bet it to shop around for the best prices for implants. .
Actually, more dental plans are adding coverage for implants as an alternate to a bridge or for a single tooth space. A 2008 report by the National Association of Dental Plans found that most Dental PPO and Dental Indemnity Plans of the reporting companies either include implants in standard coverage or offer it as an added benefit. Health insurance companies generally do not provide coverage of dental procedures except for oral surgery that results from an accident or injury. ( Full Answer )
