Important Note

Not all cosmetic procedures qualify for reimbursement. You will be required to pay out-of-pocket initially. Please note that Medicare and Medi-Cal patients are not eligible for this service.

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Contact Us

Our team will review your case with your insurance provider to determine if your cosmetic procedure can be classified as medically necessary. This means we investigate whether the procedure addresses a legitimate medical condition or health concern beyond aesthetic improvements. Then, we’ll help you compile all required medical documentation to support your claim.

Step 2: Get Surgery

Potential surgeries that may be covered include breast reduction, breast implant capsulectomies, umbilical hernia, rhinoplasty, and upper blepharoplasty.

Step 3: Get Reimbursed

We’ll be in communication with your insurance company. Our team handles the entire claims submission process on your behalf, so you won’t need to navigate any complicated paperwork or bureaucratic procedures. From start to finish, we manage every aspect of the claims process.
Once your claim is processed, approved reimbursements are sent directly to you by the insurance provider. Reimbursement typically takes between 4-8 weeks, with the expected percentage varying depending on your specific insurance plan.

What Type of Reimbursement Can You Expect?

Once approved, patients can expect a partial reimbursement of approximately 30% of the initial procedure cost. However, this percentage can vary depending on your specific insurance provider, the medical necessity of the procedure, and the documentation we submit. We always aim to maximize your potential reimbursement through extensive documentation and thorough claim preparation.

What Qualifies as Medically Necessary?

A procedure is typically considered medically necessary if it meets specific criteria. It must evaluate, diagnose, or treat an illness, injury, or disease. The treatment should follow accepted medical practice standards and provide clinically appropriate and effective care. Additionally, it must be cost-effective compared to alternative treatments and clearly not be purely cosmetic in nature.

Medically necessary procedures may include:

EYES

  • Upper blepharoplasty (if vision has been documented to be impaired)

NOSE

  • Septoplasty
  • Turbinates
  • Implants/spreader graft

BODY

  • Umbilical hernia 
  • Panniculectomy
  • Scar revisions
  • Excisions/Complex Closure of wounds
  • Debridement/Late Closures
  • Advanced Flap coverage of wounds

BREAST

  • Breast reduction (if the size is causing other issues like neck/back pain)
  • Breast reconstruction
  • Breast revision (for capsulectomy, capsular contracture)
  • Most procedures post-breast cancer tend to be covered (including breast augmentations, nipple reconstruction, etc.)
