[CocoLine Column] About Insurance Reimbursement for Rhinitis Surgery

For 10 years, CocoLine has focused solely on rhinoplasty.

If you have ever wondered whether rhinitis treatment and cosmetic surgery can be done at the same time, please read this article for just one more minute.

Today, I’ll explain insurance reimbursement for rhinoplasty. Many people often ask whether they can receive insurance reimbursement when getting cosmetic surgery.

To begin with, the conclusion is:

Cosmetic surgery is not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

(For cosmetic reimbursement, it may vary depending on your individual insurance company, so please inquire.)

Oh? My friend said they got reimbursed after surgery?

Yes, there is a separate standard for reimbursement :) Reimbursement is possible when you undergo functional surgery (rhinitis surgery) to correct a problem with nasal function.

To receive reimbursement, the following conditions and procedures are required.

1. You should first check whether you are currently enrolled in an insurance plan that allows reimbursement.

2. You should check whether you can receive reimbursement through any special clauses other than rhinitis treatment. (Contact your insurance company)

3. You should determine whether your case qualifies as rhinitis surgery. (Consultation and diagnosis by an otolaryngology specialist are required)

4. If your case qualifies for surgery, check which documents need to be submitted to the insurance company.

5. After surgery, submit the documents to the insurance company and receive reimbursement. That’s it!

Rhinitis is a disease that lowers quality of life.

Depending on the weather each day, the environment, and the season, the inside of the nose can become dry, breathing can feel restricted, and in severe cases, nosebleeds can occur frequently. So if you are considering treatment, an accurate diagnosis of your current condition is necessary.

For more than 10 years, CocoLine has continuously taken care of many people’s nasal health in one place. Together with functional surgery for breathing, it has established a broad practice covering rhinitis, cosmetic procedures, and reconstruction, and has been recognized for its expertise.
