Insurance documentation varies

Marcus L. Peterson, MD answers: Documentation of back problems for breast reduction insurance coverage?

I appreciate the answers I got for my question about getting a breast reduction for my size H breasts and I have taken the advice from my answers. I have a consultation with a surgeon and I also have talked to my insurance company who says they cover with a PA. What would be advisable to do if they want documentation of my back problems and I can't go to a chiropractor because it's not covered by my insurance plan?

Hi Karim,

Every insurance company will have different requirements for documentation.  Make sure you have asked specifically what they want and have it in writing.  The best place to start would be your regular family physician that is on your insurance plan.  If you need more evaluation or documentation then he or she can refer you to another physician on the insurance plan.

Best Wishes
