Some plans treat it as dental, while others may cover it under medical if there’s clear clinical necessity such as infection, severe pain, or surgical extraction in hospital or specialist settings. In most cases, pre-authorisation and the correct procedure codes from the provider are needed before you can get a clear answer on what portion will be covered.
