31 yr old female with 2 children (2009, 2011). 93 lbs/active. I have a substantial separation in abdominal wall and an umbilical hernia the size of a golfball. I have contacted my ins. provider and they will not cover any repair to my abdominal wall unless it is to repair the hernia alone. Seems odd to me considering a hernia may occur again later due to the separation. Are there any doctors that will repair the separation and the hernia simultaneously with a CPT code that fits the insurance guidelines?
