Transcript

Cosmetic eyelid surgery is generally not covered. Functional upper-eyelid surgery may be covered when the applicable policy and documentation requirements are met.

Coverage starts with the exact procedure, plan, and policy—not one symptom or test result by itself.

Ask about functional complaints, examination findings, photographs, testing when applicable, prior authorization, and the billing codes being submitted.

SurgeryViz turns those requirements into questions. It cannot promise approval.
