Will mass health cover the orbital decompression surgery?

Question

Ivan Vrcek, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.
Orbital decompression is almost always covered by insurance. I highly recommend seeing an ASOPRS-trained oculoplastic surgeon for this type of surgery. Best of luck!!

Katrinka L. Heher, MD · Answer

Usually if the surgery is required to prevent visual loss, medical insurance will cover the cost of surgery.  If the surgery is being performed to reduce a prominent eye for appearance sake, then it is unlikely to be covered. Hope this helps and best of luck.
