Will HMO insurance cover cosmetic or plastic surgery
Technically speaking most HMO insurance will not cover any cosmetic procedure. Criteria for coverage vary by carrier and will differ according to standards established for funcitonal or reconstructiive procedures for acquired or congenital conditions. There are no generalizations. Discuss your specific procedure with your primary care provider or gate keeper to ascertain eligibility for coverage of benefits.
