Many insurance plans typically cover reconstructive surgeries that are deemed medically necessary. This includes essential procedures such as:

• Cleft lip and palate repairs
• Reconstruction after trauma
• Surgery to correct congenital defects

These surgeries are often critical for restoring function and improving quality of life, making them eligible for insurance coverage.

On the other hand, cosmetic procedures, which are primarily aimed at enhancing appearance, are generally not covered by insurance. This category includes surgeries like:

• Breast augmentation
• Liposuction
• Facelifts

If you are interested in these aesthetic enhancements, you should check with your insurance provider to clarify specific coverage details and options.

At Apollo Hospitals, we believe that informed patients make better choices. That’s why we offer comprehensive consultations to discuss potential procedures, including financial aspects and insurance implications. Our team is here to help you explore payment plans or financing options if your desired procedure is not covered by insurance.

For those seeking coverage for reconstructive surgeries, our staff at Apollo Hospitals can assist in providing the necessary documentation required by insurance companies to support claims. This support can be invaluable in ensuring that you receive the benefits you are entitled to.
