Baby Boy Has Bilateral Microtia- Will Medicaid Cover Surgery?

Yes, Medicaid covers reconstruction of congenital deformities such as microtia (absent, or ear remnants. I would recommend going to a Craniofacial Clinic associated with a pediatric hospital. 

Insurance coverage for rebuilding the ear is possible.


There are a few options for improving hearing (BAHA or canal reconstruction) and

Several options for rebuilding the ear :  (Rib graft or implant or prosthetic ear)  can be discussed at your surgeons consult, but we wait for 5-8 years to start the repair. 


One option would be to contact LSU Baton Rouge Facial Plastic Surgery for a consult.
