Plastic Surgery and Health Insurance
During your consultation, the surgeon will discuss the cost of your particular surgery or procedure.
Insurance for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery
Most insurance companies provide coverage for reconstructive plastic surgeries. The most common issue is what defines a reconstructive plastic surgery.
According to the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), reconstructive plastic surgery is:
Surgery performed on abnormal structures caused by birth or congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. The surgery performed can improve the function or restore a normal appearance to the area of the body affected.
