This will all depend on what kind of coverage you have. Of course, to qualify for insurance coverage for a blepharoplasty in San Diego, your drooping eyelids should impair your visual field substantially. You will need an examination from an ophthalmologist to test the amount of visual impairment. Dr. Sayed’s office will submit information, including photos and medical records, to your insurance to seek authorization for coverage of upper eyelid lifts if you are seeing him for an insurance consultation. The insurance company then evaluates if you meet criteria for insurance coverage according to your policy. Even for a patient who is a candidate for upper blepharoplasty through insurance, the lower eyelid procedure is not covered (since lower eyelids can’t block the vision).
