Often times
difference between whether or not your insurance company will cover
bill is
REASON for
procedure. If, for example, you are having your nose reshaped because you're unhappy with your profile -- no deal. You're on your own. However, get that same nose job because your doctor has diagnosed a chronic breathing problem that results in
potentially dangerous condition known as "Sleep Apnea" and you could end up with a new nose courtesy of your health insurance provider!
If you are planning to visit a Plastic Surgeon, keep
following items in mind:
Your plastic surgeon should be "Board Certified" by
American Board of Plastic Surgery;
If your doctor will be using anesthesia then make sure that only a licensed Anesthesiologist administers
medicine and make sure that
facility where
procedure is being performed is accredited by at least one of
following organizations:
American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities(AAAASF)
Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC)
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)
Although making sure that all of these certifications are present is no guarantee of a trouble-free experience, NOT having these certifications means that both
doctor performing plastic surgery, as well as
people who run
facility, have a serious lack of regard for your health and well being! You should NEVER use an uncertified plastic surgeon or facility. The risk is simply not worth it.
