Your also not asking for a major and expensive operation.
It's not really that different. I'm not asking for pills. My doctor told me I need this medicine. My doctor diagnosed me with an illness and prescribed a medicine. If he diagnosed me with an illness and prescribed a surgery I would expect my insurance to cover it just like they'd cover any other thing my doctor said I need. I don't care how much it costs. I pay for insurance for them to cover the things I need not just for them to cover the things they feel are cheap enough.
It's not a matter of cost, a lot doctors are controlled by big pharma. If a doctor tells you something it's not always true, if a HMO or PPO wants to cover something that's up to them. There also within there rights to deny a more costly operation and replace it with it a older and cheaper operation. It does not make it right, I can understand there hesitation to cover SRS. In my last post, they could offer a variety of packages that cover it and all the other operations that are needed afterwards. I'm sure I am not alone on this, main stream insurance should not be forced to cover it, they can get special higher end packages that do cover it.
