1 /5 Guest Icles: Shameful how they refuse to work with medical insurance. They will only work with dental insurance, which often doesnt cover surgeries related to cleft lips and palates, but is covered under medical insurance through a law passed effective 1/1/2024. Because they refuse to work with medical insurance, all costs are offset and shifted to the parents to cover, even though the health insurance company has stated they will do a single case agreement with the office to get our childs oral surgery due to their cleft palate covered. Whats even worse is their office is often the provider who goes to SIUs cleft clinics for parents with children who suffer from cleft lips and palates. If I worked for this practice, I would be ashamed and disappointed that our office refused to work with parents and children for their medical needs, THAT ARE LEGALLY COVERED BY OTHER INSURANCE.
