Is your dentist listed as an in-network dentist. If not UHC only pays a portion.
If he is listed check to see what procedure code the dentist use. A listing of codes can be googled. Wrong code have dentist resubmit. Correct code file an appeal with UHC in writing and send certified mail return receipt requested. Follow instructions carefully for the documentation required. Call their customer service afterwards every 2 months for updates.
I initially got denied a replacement on 20yr old crown on a back molar that had broken claiming it was a cosmetic procedure. Took me 10 months but got crown fully paid.
