Payment Options
At Resilient Plastic Surgery, PLLC, we understand that financing your desired procedures is an important consideration. While many cosmetic surgeries are elective and typically not covered by insurance, certain reconstructive procedures, especially those related to medical conditions like cancer, may be eligible for insurance coverage.
Insurance Coverage for Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgeries aimed at correcting abnormalities caused by congenital defects, developmental issues, trauma, infection, tumors, or disease are often considered medically necessary and may be covered by insurance. For instance, the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) of 1998 mandates that group health plans covering mastectomies must also cover breast reconstruction, prostheses, and treatments for complications resulting from a mastectomy, including lymphedema.
Similarly, procedures following skin cancer removal, such as reconstructive surgery after Mohs surgery, are generally recognized as medically necessary and may be covered by insurance.
Financing Options for Cosmetic Procedures
For cosmetic procedures not covered by insurance, Resilient Plastic Surgery offers flexible financing solutions to help make your aesthetic goals attainable:
- Cherry Payment Plans: Cherry provides patients with the ability to receive treatments immediately and pay over time through manageable monthly payments. The application process is quick, and applying does not impact your credit score.
- CareCredit Healthcare Credit Card: CareCredit is a healthcare credit card designed specifically for health, beauty, and wellness expenses. It offers promotional financing options, allowing you to pay for your procedure over time with convenient monthly payments.
