Medicare and Medicaid Plastic and General Sugery Done by Same Doctor

The ASPS website is a good starting point to identify qualified, board certified plastic surgeons. Many surgeons will indicate if they accept medicare and/or medicaid. Consult with 3 - 4 experienced and expert surgeons to understand your options. see video

Thank you for your question. Each insurance company is different with their authorization process. I do not believe that medicare provides preauthorization and so you will be responsible for full payment if they deny the claim. Make sure your surgeon can show you examples of their work so that you are comfortable proceeding with surgery. Best Wishes.
