Insurance will not pay for operations that are strictly for cosmetic purposes. Some surgical procedures, such as eyelid lifts and breast reductions are paid for by insurance if the patient meets certain criteria. This can be the case if the operation will relieve symptoms such as: restricted vision, impaired breathing, and back, shoulder, or breast pain.Our office will be glad to file any insurance claims for you. However, we cannot fill out claims stating the surgery was performed to improve function if it was not. We will do all we can to assist you and will send all supporting information possible but we are not responsible for the final decision of your insurance company.
