Health coverage generally does not cover dental work. But Susan Rice of Atlanta should have been the exception: She was hit by a speeding car, causing extensive damage to her own \u201cgrill.\u201d She\u2019s been fighting to get her oral surgery covered for 18 months and counting.<\/p>\n

The \u201cAn Arm and a Leg\u201d podcast connected Rice with University of South Carolina law professor Jacqueline Fox, who, when she was practicing law, fought insurers on behalf of patients. Fox said Rice has \u201cdone everything right.\u201d Her insurer\u2019s refusal to pay may be tied to a bigger problem in the Affordable Care Act marketplace \u2026 one that\u2019s led to a class-action lawsuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
