Insurance companies typically do not cover cosmetic procedures or complications stemming from them. Nonetheless, there are certain situations when implant removal surgery is medically necessary and therefore insurance may cover it.
To get insurance carriers to cover the surgery, individuals must take several important steps.
First, anyone seeking insurance coverage must obtain written statements from a medical professional stating the medical necessity of the procedure. Patients should have meticulous records of all medical appointments, treatments, and relevant details relating to the medical reason surgery is necessary.
They should also have documentation of the condition through photographs and written logs to further support the case.
Additionally, if they can provide evidence of having explored alternative treatments before considering surgery, it can be greatly beneficial.
Finally, selecting a reputable surgeon and surgical facility can help the credibility of the case. While the ultimate decision lies with the insurance company, the more compelling the case with thorough documentation and expert opinions, the more likely the procedure will be covered.
