Is Your Surgery Covered By Medicare?: Part 1

The concept of being covered by Medicare for plastic surgery is undeniably confusing. To help, we've recorded a two part series explaining what an item number is, why they exist, and we go through operation by operation to break down who qualifies for the surgeries we perform at Re.

In this episode, we cover how both the MBS and private health insurance work, what it means to have a purely cosmetic surgery, and we go through the specific qualifiers for breast lifts, breast reductions, breast augmentations, and fat grafting. Definitely listen to this one first for background on how the system works and tune in next week to learn about qualifying for our other surgeries.
