Most companies are required to give you preauthorization.. need need the codes, cpt and icd9 and examination as well as a letter of medical necessity. you purchase your policy and must be your own advocate
Rhinoplasty is the primary focus of my practice, so I get this question a lot. The problem with the question, though, is that the patient has no way to verify the number the surgeon or his staff gives them. A surgeon can claim he does 20, 50, 100, 500 a year...but he could be lying through his...
You are correct in being concerned about post operative nasal obstruction in rhinoplasty. However, the less you want changed, the less likely you will have post operative problems, particularly if the septum is not operated on. Finesse Rhinoplasty is a termed that Rhinoplasty...
