Was the exclusion for TMJ and CMD removed from the HealthAccess Specified Disease/Sickness and Accident Plan?

The exclusion for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and craniomandibular disorders (CMD) being removed from the HealthAccess Specified Disease/Sickness and Accident Plan indicates a significant change in coverage. This means that individuals enrolled in this plan now have access to benefits related to the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ and CMD, which can involve various medical and dental treatments.

Removing such an exclusion reflects an evolving understanding of the conditions and their implications on overall health. By providing coverage, the plan acknowledges that these disorders can significantly affect quality of life, and appropriate medical care should be accessible to those suffering from them.

The other options suggest that exclusions might still apply either in a general sense or under specific circumstances, which would not provide the same level of comprehensive care. Thus, confirming the removal of this exclusion illustrates a progressive approach in health insurance coverage towards treating TMJ and CMD, making care more accessible for patients who need it.
