answers 0:Hey everybody,I am having a tough time dealing with the finances of having a dental implant done. I dropped by a periodontist to get a consultation about an implant and he told me that it would cost $2000 out of my pocket because insurance doesn't cover that type of procedure. I've been hearing people talk about procedures being preauthorized in order to get covered, but how and is this even possible for an implant?Insurance companies are saying that these types of procedure are considered cosmetic surgery, but have any of you experienced a way to lower the expenses a bit?...Show moreanswers 1:A pre-authorization is just an approval by the insurance company of a COVERED procedure and how much they will pay towards it. If a policy does not cover a procedure then pre-auhorization cannot be done. ! Dental insurance companies usually do not cover implant because they consider the procedure to be experimental; that is insurance speak for "we don't want to pay for that because it's too expensive and we want to increase our bottom line."
