I'm starting at Google soon and haven't been able to see what the dental insurance coverage is like yet (new grad). Can anyone here write about their experiences with it?

Also, I need double jaw surgery and braces. I know that the insurance will cover a percentage of the cost of braces up to 2300 dollars, but does the health insurance cover double jaw surgery?

Thank you all so much!!

    Should cover it but you can also confirm with HR. It should be part of the offer package in the benefits document (at least was in my case).

      Maxillofacial surgery is covered at like 60-80%. Just looked up mine.

    Don’t know about Google insurance carrier but most major insurance carriers have written maxilofacial surgery out of their coverage.

    You’ll have to check with HR or look into the policy itself to see if maxilofacial surgery is covered or not. It’s usually listed under the terms of major medical insurance and not under dental insurance.

    Source: my wife had to have maxilofacial surgery on her lower jaw to correct her bite. We had to go through this same process to find out that it wasn’t covered by medical or dental insurance so we ended up having to pay the $15,000 ourselves.

      Yep! Also if insurance happens to cover it, make sure you find a surgeon that’s in-network.

      You guys, health insurance covered it in full for me. Only paid out of pocket max. I was not at Google. I was at a med device company with great insurance. Dental covered some cost for braces.
