Will insurance cover ptosis revision surgery?

June 22, 2018
Asked By:434 in Pittsburgh, PA

I had a bilateral mullerectomy done about 2 months ago covered by insurance because it effected my vision. The first couple days after surgery I could see a differece but now they look almost the same as before except my right is isn't even with my left one. Will insurance cover a revision? If so will it be cheaper or will my surgeon do a revision for a lower cost?
