What is the name of your state? TX
Went to a surgeon for a consultation for plastic surgery, and asked him to tell me what the costs would be. His office wrote me up the fees and I told them to send it through to my insurance company to see if they would pay for any of the benefits. The claim got denied by my insurance company. So I told them that I would be paying for it out of my pocket. They told me that the surgeon's fee would go up $1000 since it would be strictly a "cosmetic procedure" and they would not be going through the insurance company. Is this something that they can do? Nothing has changed as far as the procedure that is going to be performed, only that I am paying for it directly out of my pocket and not the insurance. It would seem to me it should be the other way around, since they would not have to mess with dealing with the insurance company.
