Step 2
Follow the step-by-step process to create an effective coverage request package based on your insurance and surgeon that will get you covered directly or on appeal.
Step 3
Treat your lipedema by having your surgeries fairly covered by your insurance without having to pay tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket.
“CoverLipedema walked me through the process of getting my insurance company to cover the costs of multiple pain-reducing, mobility-increasing procedures. . . . Women with lipedema should know that there is a real possibility of getting insurance coverage for their necessary surgeries. This is a fight worth taking on!”
Over the past two years, we have helped over a hundred women get their surgeries covered by insurance. Many women are being covered by their initial request, but others had to appeal a denial. Even if you are covered, you may need help because an approval does not mean that your insurance will pay your claims fairly, leaving you with large medical bills. Coverlipedema.com has the knowledge and documents that you need to get yourself covered for the least amount of out-of-pocket cost when using a board-certified plastic surgeon.
We can help you avoid critical mistakes that people often make in appeals process such as:
- Failing to get a network gap exception.
- Failing to get a functional evaluation, or getting the wrong kind.
- Sending too many or the wrong supporting documents.
- Not knowing what is fair and reasonable payment.
- Thinking that you don’t need prior authorization.
- Paying for your surgery up front, hoping to get reimbursed.
- Letting your surgeon’s staff handle the coverage process.
