Receipt f benefits is subject t satisfactin f all terms and cnditins f the cverage. Medical technlgy is cnstantly changing, and we reserve the right t review and update ur plicies peridically. Descriptin Orthgnathic surgery refers t the surgical repsitining f the maxilla, mandible and the dentalvelar segments t achieve facial and cclusal balance. One r mre f the jaw(s) can be simultaneusly repsitined t treat varius types f malcclusins and jaw defrmities. Surgical Prcedures In rthgnathic surgery, an stetmy is made in the affected jaw, and the bnes are repsitined in a mre nrmal alignment. The bnes are held in psitin with plates, screws and/r wires. Intermaxillary fixatin, a prcedure in which arch bars are placed in bth jaws, may als be needed t prvide added stability. Simultaneus stetmies may be perfrmed when defrmities must be crrected in bth jaws. Grafts frm the ribs, hip r skull may be perfrmed fr patients with deficient bne tissue; allplastic bne replacement may als be required. Orthgnathic surgery is generally perfrmed under general anesthesia n an inpatient basis. Althugh smetimes perfrmed fr csmetic purpses, rthgnathic surgery is generally cnsidered t be medically necessary when perfrmed t treat a significant abnrmality that is causing significant functinal impairment. Patients with bne r sft tissue deficiency f the face may require distractin stegenesis. In this prcedure, a distractin device is applied t the bne, and a cntrlled fracture is created and gradually separated allwing new bne frmatin in the distracted segments. This allws the facial bne and adjacent sft tissue t elngate. Plicy Orthgnathic surgery is permitted when the fllwing medical necessity criteria are met: Presence f: ANY f the facial skeletal defrmities listed belw in sectin 1 AND ANY f the functinal deficits listed belw in sectin 2 AND NONE f the exclusins listed belw in sectin 3 42 Memrial Drive Suite 1 Pinehurst, N.C Phne (910) Fax (910) FirstCarlinaCare Insurance Cmpany, Inc. is a whlly-wned subsidiary f
