Cosmetic Surgery and Health Insurance: Am I covered?

Cosmetic Surgery and Health Insurance: Am I covered?

http://insureme.us/cosmetic-surgery-health-insurance-covered/

Cosmetic surgery is so much of a trend nowadays. Vanity has pushed people to the limits and cosmetic surgery has been the gateway to enhance these unwanted things in our own bodies. Typically, medical insurance does not cover aesthetic procedures done by a client.  The argument given by insurance firms is that these procedures are not necessary for patients to undergo, and is merely for beautifying themselves.  There is no real medical reason behind it but to appease vanity.  However, reconstructive surgery is another thing.  Say for example, when breast reduction is done to alleviate a patient’s orthopedic pain, is considered eligible for coverage.  The same thing is true for someone who has droopy eyelids and needs an eyelift to see better, or someone who may need a rhinoplasty to correct nasal deformities.
