insurance coverage for Hair Restoration Surgery

[Daniel Leach]

My name is Dan Leach, I work for Dr. Reese at Reese Hair Restoration. I have a very young patient who was recieved some severe scarring to the scalp from a burn many years ago. This has become very tragic to her as she moves into adolesence. Has anyone ever heard of insurance companies helping out in this situation and how to go about enlisting thier help. If you have any experience with this please email me. Thanks, (promotional email removed)

Daniel,

 

I haven't heard of this but I am sure that her parents can check with their medical insurance company. That would be a good place to start.

 

Of course, and this may be a silly question...

 

But have you considered offering this surgery for this this young patient free of charge?

 

It would certainly be a commendable thing to do.

Daniel, Maybe you can contact several of the big hospitals' administration deptartments to direct you to certain dotors doing charitable work. I've heard recently a group of doctors setting up certain days to do this.

Dr. Epstien has a reputation for pro bono work of this nature, as does Dr. Shapiro and Dr. Rose.

 

Please contact any of these clinics directly for help.

 

Take Care,

Jason

Doubt insurance would cover cosmetic procedures. They are usually pretty strict with money and go by the book
