Dear wpwbeef,
It sounds like you sought services with out knowing if they were covered under your health plan.
Unfortunately, even though what the dentist did has helped your condition, your health plan may not cover it because it may be considered dental services.
The only advice I can give you is that (unless you have an emergency) always get pre- approval from your carrier before you go in for services
Sincerely,
Amir Mostafaie
