posted April 14, 2011 5:46 am in reply to I have two claims for crowns that have been denied - two separate patients, one insured with MetLife, the other Principal. I have been through one appeal with MetLife and two appeals with Principal. I have never had claims denied for lack of necessity. They were necessary and obviously I did not provide the correct documentation/narrative. I would appreciate any help getting insurance benefits for these two patients. Thank you, Beverly Knight
