Hello – I agree with Shirley that a consult with an ophthalmologist would be helpful. One discussion to have is whether the procedure is for medical or cosmetic purposes.
If an insurance company sees a procedure coded as cosmetic, a claim is likely to be denied.
Is this fair? Not really. But it’s the system we’re stuck with right now. As one of our regular conference presenters has pointed out, if someone was in a car accident, it’s pretty much accepted that that individual *should* be restored as closely as possible to their appearance before the accident. TED patients deserve the same treatment…but right now, this is often an uphill battle.
