TMJ coverage...

Over the years, I've paid an amazing amount for TMJ treatment for various members of my family. No medical carrier has ever given me a logical answer as to why a jaw joint is excluded from coverage. Why is it treated differently than, say, a knee? Admittedly TMJ can be caused by dental problems, but it can also arise from a host of other things...like the time my son ran into somebody's elbow while running on the beach.

Anybody have any thoughts?
