Hi I am scheduled to have a breast augmentation and liposuction on August 2nd and I was wondering if insurance covers the pre-op testing?
Answer: Does insurance cover blood tests for breast augmentation? Insurance plans vary greatly and the lab testing could/could not be covered. If not covered, see if your plastic surgeon's office works with a lab for reduced cosmetic patient pricing. Discuss with your surgeon and good luck

Answer: Does insurance cover pre-op testing for Breast Augmentation and liposuction? Great question. Generally the labs we order for surgery are your typical labs that your primary doctor would order yearly for your physical which are usually covered by insurance. Some insurance companies only pay for services that are ordered by your primary so check with your insurance company plan for that stipulation. Good luck.

Answer: Does insurance cover pre-op testing? Thank you for your question. Each health insurance company usually has several different policies. The pre-operative coverage of labs varies widely. The Board Certified Plastic Surgeon you are with may know which may be helpful in your city. Best to contact the health insurance company and ask. Also, most laboratory groups will have a cash pay price. Jeffrey J. Roth, M.D., F.A.C.S.Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLas Vegas Plastic Surgery

Answer: Does insurance cover pre-op testing? Coverage of lab tests prior to lipo and breast augmentation will depend upon your insurance provider. My patients are cleared for surgery by their PCP and specialists if necessary. The tests needed will vary with age, current medical problems, and personal preference to some extent.
