Insurance coverage of septal perforation repair for out of network surgeon - best CPT and ICD-10 codes to result in coverage?

May 1, 2016
Asked By:binfargond in Fargo, ND

I have a consultation with a nationally renowned surgeon who specializes in septal perforation repair. He does not accept insurance and is out of network, and he charges up to $30,000 for the surgery. I want to convince my insurance company (United Healthcare) to cover part of the cost. Does anyone know which CPT and ICD-10 codes are most likely to result in insurance coverage? I am in Texas. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
