Will insurance cover a scar revision for gastroschisis?

July 11, 2017
Asked By:emmakuulei in Philadelphia, PA

I'm 18 and was born with gastroschisis and a scar that's almost tear drop shapes and rather deep. I have been looking into getting a revision or some kind of umbilicalplasty to give me something reminiscent of a "normal" looking belly button, what are the chances that insurance would cover, if any, of the costs?
