I'm covered by my moms insurance until i turn 26, but there wont be any appointments open with my plastic surgeon until a month after my coverage ends. Im worried that I will not be able to get the surgery due to not having insurance anymore. I know that insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures, but I was wondering if it covers the prescriptions that are given by the plastic surgeon? Also, do i need to be insured in order for my PS to operate on me even though insurance wont pay? Thanks!
