Asked By:IllMindsUminati in Mayfield, KY

My pstosis is bad and I believe I new surgery. I have Medicaid for insurance. The guidelines for payment states that the eyelid has to be so far off what's it's supposed to be, is affects my vision, or if there is excessive skin above or under eyelid. Do you think my pstosis is severe enough my insuance will cover this surgery? My vision is not affected that much.
