[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1414985, member: 43436"] This is not true -- UPS administered plans absolutely did not cover implants. I know this because I had a tooth knocked out and UPS refused to pay for the implant, but would pay for a "flipper" (cheap fake tooth usually used as a temporary solution until an implant is made). The implant was about $5K and after three years (of using a flipper), my gum was constantly swollen, sore & becoming friend-d up. I had a dentist and oral surgeon sign off that an implant was medically necessary, appealed all the way to UPS but lost. There's also several lawsuits available for viewing on the internet of people in similar situations -- e.g. told implants were medically necessary, but UPS refused to cover them saying a flipper was good enough -- and nobody has been successful. No, the plan is administered by the Teamsters and managed by BC/BS (or equivalent). Previous plans were administered by UPS. As in my case, final appeal was determined by UPS itself. Now it's the Teamsters. [/QUOTE]
