[AGENT][POSITIVE] Thank you. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] I was graduation is about the dental plan and the grandson that's on there, [PII]. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Oh, what's [PII]'s date of birth? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] [PII] check that. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK, and what was your question? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] I need to see if it covers any sort of dental surgery because he's got wisdom teeth coming in. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] So for wisdom tooth, wisdom tooth removal, that usually, they usually refer you to a surgeon to have the wisdom removed. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] So although this policy does have major, but if it's for removal of wisdom. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yes. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Um, I think that [PII] may refer him to [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Uh-huh. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Um, [AGENT][NEUTRAL] A surgeon, but let me see what the benefit is for that. [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] I appreciate it. Thank you. [AGENT][POSITIVE] You're welcome. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Of course in any information provided is verification, not a guarantee of payments. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] So that's gonna be considered a major service. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Right. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Uh, which is reimbursed at 40%. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] And let me check to see if the wisdom removal is even um included on this plan. I know it's an extraction, but for wisdom it's a little different. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah, yeah, yup. It's not so easy. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah, let's see. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] And the dentist will have, well, does he have to, the dentist himself have to send a referral to even get approved for? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Uh, an appointment for an oral surgeon. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] They do they'll have to do yeah they they will mhm they may even, you know, recommend one for you to go to um I don't believe that um. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Removal of wisdom teeth is covered. I mean, there are extraction benefits under the policy, um, but I'm not seeing anything that speaks to removal of wisdom. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Teeth. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] All right, that, that wouldn't be covered then. um. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] But [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] And that means that nothing involved would be covered correct like the. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Let's see. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] regarding wisdom removal. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] That [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah. OK. OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Of wisdom teeth. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] He'd have to talk to someone else about getting, uh, to see if y'all have a plan like that, right? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Um, this is a dental policy that's offered by the group. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] That involves [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Uh-huh. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Um, and so I don't know if they have any other dental policies that they offer that would be a question that, uh, [PII] would need to ask, uh, his, his employer group or what or UTBA. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK, that's what I was wondering. OK, now, that's all the questions I have at the moment. Let me get you back to him so he can get that permission slip sent over, so yeah. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Well, um, he's already he's already confirmed that I can send the authorization form to the email address that he verified, but I do wanna send it while I have you on the phone so that you can confirm receipt of it. So give me a quick, quick minute. [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] OK, totally. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] And I'll get that over to you. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] And I might actually have another question too. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Go ahead. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Um, can you tell me on the dental providers, all I can find is Boston Mountain, and can you verify that that is all that takes this insurance around here? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Give me 1 2nd. [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] All right, thank you. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Uh-huh. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Hm. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Mm [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Mhm. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] All right, so I just emailed the [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Form and. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] I'm sorry, [PII], can you repeat your question? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah, so, yeah, that's OK. Can you verify that uh Boston Mountain Dental is the only place that accepts this insurance? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] So with this dental policy, it's provider of the patient's choice that they do not have a contracted list of uh providers, dental providers for this plan. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] What do you mean? I can take them anywhere or? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] So [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah, provider's choice, so you could see anyone, any dental provider. Mhm. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] A [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] OK, OK, awesome. I talked on the Boston Mountain last time and I wasn't real sure about them because that's what all I could find online on the provider information and I thought, well, could, but yeah, that, that's good. I can actually call someone else and see if they'll do it. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah. Now, does he have a medical policy? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah, yes he did. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Because sometimes those items are, you know, they, there may be something under the medical policy that could, uh, cover, not for sure, just depends on what type of policy the removal of the um. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Uh, since it's a surgical removal of wisdom. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Uh, OK. [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] That would be good. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK. [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] But all I have right here is the mental set well that thank you for that. I appreciate it. And do I just email this form back or him? He just emails it back to you. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah, email it back, but it's coming from [PII], which is me, so don't send it back to me. I'm gonna give you the email address to send it back to let me know when you're ready. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] I am ready.
