I've had my implants for 11 years now, and I am 51 years old. I've been having a bothersome consistent pain on my left implant. Also all of sudden I've been having sciatica pain and two really bad vertigo episodes on my left ear.

How can I or what are the steps to follow to get my insurance to cover this procedure? I have anthem BC/BS.
