My claims for temporaries are not being paid

Temporaries are usually considered by insurance companies to be an inherent part of the permanent crown or fixed bridge. Separate benefits usually won't be allowed. There are some dental procedure codes for provisional crowns/fixed prosthesis but the language specifically states that they must serve as an interim restortion for at least 6 months and should not be used as for a routine temporary. Our suggestion is that if you haven't already, build any cost for a temporary into the fee for the permanent restoration.
