dc.description.abstractThere is a crisis in American healthcare. This very crisis involves insurers whether those insurers be medical, dental, or property and casualty insurers not covering surgical and non-surgical treatments for craniomandibular and temporomandibular disorders that include accompanying commodities that become multi-system overall health dysfunctions. In many jurisdictions, these subscriber denials are in direct violation of state statue. The states that experience some of the highest denial rates leaving patients receiving shocking sucker punches to their oral health, joint health, multi-system health, wallets, and functional capacities including performing daily ADLs (activities of daily leaving) are the biggest offenders. These disorders, thanks to the insurance carriers' relentless arguments whether this is dental or medical has left many patients between the ages of thirty and forty chronically disabled with many being forced to live in poverty on social security and receive further sub-par medical management on state plans. Thus, to shed light on the necessity for legislative and healthcare overalls that address this forgotten medical population, I have followed the personal stories of two patients and their families from Tennessee and Illinois that have laws mandating coverage (Tmjjoints.org, n.d.). The aim of this research is being used to become a national and global catalyst for permanent and effective access to coverage and care change. The goal is academic and personal.
