Hi Erin!

The best place to refer a patient for this information is to the Medicare Part B MAC for your jurisdiction, the payors website generally will offer information relating to coverage policies - i.e. what is and is not covered and why.

For a more "patient friendly" version that has easier to understand language, please follow the link below that explains what portions of TMD treatment are covered by Medicare and what is not:

Hope this helps!

I need some info regarding Medicare not covering oral appliances used to treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, diagnostic imaging of TMJ and office visits so I can hand to my patients showing medicare will not cover treatment.
