Blue Cross of California

The teeth in Will’s mouth are crowded.  Many of his baby teeth haven’t fallen out and his teeth are large.  Two orthodontists recommended that he have five teeth pulled.  Naturally there is no possible way to do this while he is conscious as there would be blood spilled – including a not insignificant amount spilled by the oral surgeon.  Thus there is a need for general anesthesia to knock him out.  The last time he needed dental work under anesthesia.  Our health insurance paid for it.  Well now, Blue Cross of California decided not to cover general anesthesia for people with disabilities.  Awesome.  I’m so glad I pay extra money for a PPO, on top of what my husband’s work pays, for our insurance not to cover something deemed medically necessary by two orthodontists and a developmental pediatrician.  Stay Classy Blue Cross.  Stay Classy.  No, no I’ve got this.
