Insurance Denied Surgery After Breast Reduction Surgery Completed?

rockdog2673
My PS got my breast reduction surgery approved based on an amount of 360 grams of tissue being removed from each breast. After the surgery, he only took 200 grams out of each breast fro a total of 400 grams. My insurance is not denying my claim. I did not do a pre-approval, but they did give a pre determination of approval. How could he have been so "off" on the amount taken out?
