Navigating The Insurance Process For Plastic Surgery

When you’re thinking of undergoing a plastic surgery procedure, there are many considerations to keep in mind, such as how long the recovery will take, what your goals are for the procedure, and also, how you will financially cover the cost of the procedure.

Though your main focus in searching for the right plastic surgeon should be based on their qualifications, specialization, and the results you are looking for from your surgery, understanding the ins and outs of your insurance process is crucial. Depending on the procedure, it is often wise to call your insurance company ahead of your consultation to ensure that the surgeon you wish to see is in network – otherwise, you could be paying a lot more money or be unable to receive any coverage.

It’s also important to note that because many plastic surgery procedures are considered cosmetic, most insurance companies will not cover them. However, certain surgeries such as skin cancer removal, breast reconstruction, and functional eyelid surgery are often covered, as these procedures all affect your quality of life as it relates to your physical health.

Financing For Your Plastic Surgery Procedure

Since insurance companies can be finicky when it comes to covering certain procedures, Zannis Plastic Surgery offers a couple of financing options to patients who are still interested in pursuing surgery without insurance but need a viable option for paying their bill. 

The first option we offer here at Zannis Plastic Surgery is Prosper Healthcare Lending.

Our second financing option is through CareCredit which covers a wide range of cosmetic and health procedures and acts as a personal line of credit for procedures. Patients enjoy CareCredit for its low monthly payment options and offer of no up-front costs or pre-payment penalties.
