Will I Qualify for Insurance Coverage on a Blepharoplasty Procedure? (photo)

Sorry to say there are so many hoops to jump through and additional out of pocket expenses that it may not be worth the effort. First which health insurance plan do you have? HMO or EPO or PPO, are there restrictions to upper lid surgery? What are you deductibles? What are you co pay numbers. Second you will need a visual fields examination, a pre determination letter, photos from the eye doctor to the insurance company. This is not usually covered by the insurance plan as to the letter and your co pays. So you most likely will be spending 50% of the costs to do the operation to try and get it approved. With that caveat the OK is very hard to obtain. Better you pay for the upper lid blepharoplasty and live your life because the time and effort it would take to TRY an obtain this coverage could be months. Good luck 

Unless it's for health reasons, insurance doesn't usually cover eyelid surgery since it's considered cosmetic. However,you may be able to get it covered if your vision is impaired. This needs confirmation through a vision test.

Insurance companies have placed upper eyelid surgery squarely in the automatic challenge list.  The pre-approval process has become so onerous for the Physician that it has become very hard to justify use of resources for this category of treatment. At age 23, you face a Herculean task in getting your procedure approved.  Botox is a wonderful option in chemically raising the brow, but requires ongoing maintenance.
