It’s quite common for people to assume “major dental work” will be included, but medical and dental policies are usually separated, so implants especially are often excluded unless there’s a specific clinical reason approved in advance. If you want to understand how a dental clinic might help with this process, you can view details to see how practices like St Leonards Green Dental support patients with treatment planning, item numbers, and insurance documentation, which can make it easier when speaking to BCBS. In real situations, patients are often advised to get their dentist to submit pre-authorisation paperwork to the insurer first. That way you’ll know upfront whether any part of the extraction or surgical work is covered and avoid unexpected costs later. So the key step is always to confirm directly with BCBS using your procedure codes, and have your dental provider guide you through the paperwork for the best chance of any reimbursement.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: How do I get EOB on old insurance plan that i had</title><link>https://connect.bcbsil.com/ask-bcbsil/f/questions-and-answers/1571/how-do-i-get-eob-on-old-insurance-plan-that-i-had/3448</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 13:30:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6e104328-2028-43b6-bb31-8401437dc51f:0184f9f7-0a16-4a1b-9b10-cd1f6a5c4277</guid><dc:creator>demtom</dc:creator><description>I dont have the cards anymore</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: How do I get EOB on old insurance plan that i had</title><link>https://connect.bcbsil.com/ask-bcbsil/f/questions-and-answers/1571/how-do-i-get-eob-on-old-insurance-plan-that-i-had</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 13:29:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6e104328-2028-43b6-bb31-8401437dc51f:b9db37f9-ddea-480e-8d5b-21d1d2133b3a</guid><dc:creator>demtom</dc:creator><description>How do I get EOB on old insurance plan that I had</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: HSA/FSA</title><link>https://connect.bcbsil.com/ask-bcbsil/f/questions-and-answers/1570/hsa-fsa</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 10:44:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6e104328-2028-43b6-bb31-8401437dc51f:e9ffe5bc-b6cc-4e6a-bc05-eb0643b6f5b2</guid><dc:creator>teisa17</dc:creator><description>How do I add HSA or FSA to my insurance?</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: College credits and coverage</title><link>https://connect.bcbsil.com/ask-bcbsil/f/questions-and-answers/1569/college-credits-and-coverage/3447</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 13:30:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6e104328-2028-43b6-bb31-8401437dc51f:d282baba-4fac-4014-9fa0-f51933a70f75</guid><dc:creator>BCBSIL Connect Team</dc:creator><description>Hello, I&amp;#39;m responding to you on your private message. ~ HC</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: College credits and coverage</title><link>https://connect.bcbsil.com/ask-bcbsil/f/questions-and-answers/1569/college-credits-and-coverage</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2026 22:26:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6e104328-2028-43b6-bb31-8401437dc51f:b1711ba3-65bf-4fa7-b731-9fe69bba8a7f</guid><dc:creator>kuzielcj</dc:creator><description>Does my child need to be full time (12 credits) in college in order to be on my insurance plan?</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Missing Check</title><link>https://connect.bcbsil.com/ask-bcbsil/f/questions-and-answers/1568/missing-check/3446</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 15:32:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6e104328-2028-43b6-bb31-8401437dc51f:faba5858-bb4a-4b87-a232-41b859bbaffe</guid><dc:creator>BCBSIL Connect Team</dc:creator><description>Hello, If you would like to send us a private message, we can have provider services help you with this. ~ HC</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: Missing Check</title><link>https://connect.bcbsil.com/ask-bcbsil/f/questions-and-answers/1568/missing-check</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 15:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6e104328-2028-43b6-bb31-8401437dc51f:a4abfc69-6498-414a-8441-aac81711c116</guid><dc:creator>BILLINGBCBS</dc:creator><description>We are a provider group and received a paper EOB today dated over a month ago and there was no check included.

Absolutely insane. if I could afford $700 a month on prescriptions I wouldn’t need pharmacy benefits. A deductible has been applied to the pharmacy benefits and now I cannot get the medication I need in order to have hip surgery so I can walk again. I’m paying at least $200 a month out of my paycheck to have medical insurance to now be faced with additional costs for a medication.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: I haven't received my medical card or any communication regarding my account.
