Does Insurance Cover This Procedure?
Legally, they have to!
Currently I am not a participating provider with any insurance company (meaning I am unable to communicate with your insurance company - it takes a lot of work/time/energy that I am not currently capable of). However, I will supply you with everything on my end that your insurance company would need! There was a law passed (The Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998) that makes it mandatory for insurance companies to pay for post-mastectomy reconstruction, including nipple/areola tattooing. What I am able to do to is provide you with any and all information on my end that can allow for reimbursement from your insurance company.
The required information usually includes (but is not limited to) -
- A prescription with ICD10 and CPT codes. (Obtained from your doctor(s).)
- A claim reimbursement form. (Obtained from your insurance company, possibly on their website!)
- Receipt of payment for tattoo service. *Supplied by me, on the day of your appointment!
- Letter of medical necessity (Obtained from your doctor(s).)
- Copy of tattoo procedure notes. *Suppied by me, on the day of your appointment!
- Copy of your tattoo consent / medical history form. *Supplied by me, on the day of your appointment!
In the past I have had clients that needed information before their procedure, if this is the case, you can email me a list of exactly what they need! :)
I have also had clients whose surgeon/surgical facility paid for their tattooing procedure, this may be another option to ask about!
I am unable to guarantee reimbursement from your insurance provider, either fully or partially since I am technically considered "out of network". If your company does not provide out of network benefits please contact me and we can discuss options. It is your responsibility to call your insurance provider to find out what they require for your plan!
