When I scheduled my Mohs surgery, I was told that changes to insurance made it necessary for me to return the second day to get my stitches. If I was stitched up same day, does it mean insurance wouldn't cover that expense? That sounded strange to me as I would think there would be a liability issue to the doctor for dismissing me with an open wound. Now, I wonder if the doctor wasn't just trying to make more money by adding another office visit charge.
I don't understand the role of insurance in all this. I help Moh's surgeons close their larger holes and this is done routinely the next day because of logistical issues. The patients don't suffer and the result is not effected.
