Will Medicare pay for fat transfer for breast reconstruction with implants? Ts?

Asked By:lise2005 in New York, NY

The fat would be harvested from thighs since I have very little on the abdomen. Does the harvesting donor site matter for insurance purposes? Do other insurance carriers pay for this procedure? Can the fat transfer be done in a revision procedure and will it be covered by Medicare?
