Most of the time, extraction is under dental coverage
He put me on hold for a long time and came back to say it is not covered unless it is a dental injury (same as medically necessary)
- $1,700 deductible, then 35%/65% (me/them)
- Doctor or dentist needs to contact the provider line to see if it will be considered as a dental injury

Try UW oral surgery department to possibly bill health insurance

Was referred to them by Admiral Dental
First available Friday
out-of-pocket $3,600, worst case
$109 for consultation
We can do a consultation immediately before the surgery, or we can schedule them for two separate visits
They said that, since Belltown says they are not ready to come out, we should probably wait

$59 for exam
Then schedule surgery
Oral surgeon comes there twice a month
Suzy thinks $1,000, worst-case scenario
Called back 2021-08-20 at 12:32pm to confirm the worst-case estimate
Suzy put me on hold to get a firmer number
$2,200 is new worst-case scenario
Scheduled exam for 2021-08-23 at 9:30am
Exam was not with the surgeon but with the dentist
- She said the roots are not fully formed and not ready to be extracted
- They set a follow-up consultation with the oral surgeon to make a final determination
