It’s ‘elective’ surgery and should not be covered.
This kind of irks me because all throughout my late 20’s and 30’s I had Rosacea/dermatitis with pretty bad flares. My derm thought light therapy would be beneficial and sent in a recommendation to my insurance company. Of course they denied it. Calling it cosmetic or whatever. That’s BS. I mean yeah, it makes you look crappy but the underlying issue is vascular/inflammatory and causes burning sensations, extreme sensitivity, I couldn’t use any of the topicals out at the time and was allergic to the antibiotics used for it. So, I hid socially a lot of the time. Whatever. What’s done is done. I still have rosacea with small amounts of psoriasis but it’s under control for the most part. There was a specialty prescription vitamin available once I hit my 40’s that cost 200 a month, insurance wouldn’t cover it either but it worked for me. Could only afford to take that once in awhile not on the regular.
It’s genital mutilation that was initiated by ancient tribes and Muslims.
