Will Insurance Possibly Cover a Scar Revision?

Typically, you would need documented problems that are causing you significant functional issues.  An evaluation of your symptoms along with examination of your concerns is warranted.  While insurance companies will make the ultimate decision as tho whether they will authorize your surgical procedure, your surgeon could only document your stated complaints as well as physical signs that s/he sees during the examination along with photographs.  It is worth exploring with the option of scar revision as a cosmetic procedure always there.  Hope that this helps!  Best of luck! 

Each insurance is different. You need to call your insurance carrier. There is no rhyme or reason as to why insurance companies cover one thing but not another.

Insurance companies apply a standard of functional necessity to scar revision so, if the scar does interfere with your activities of daily living, the case can be submitted for preauthorization.  If your initial surgery was covered by insurance, then there is a possibility that the secondary procedure would be covered as a complication.
