will insurance pay for followup ER visit after private pay tummy tuck?
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if any of you know if insurance will pay for an ER visit after my tummy tuck. I had a belt lipectomy done on April 2nd and had to go to the ER yesterday because I had a 103 fever. After test, chest x-ray, cultures, etc it was determined that I was dehydrated and had a mild case of pneumonia. They gave me two heavy duty antibiotics with the IV fluids for my dehydration. Do you think it will be covered. I have Pacific Care HMO in California.
I don't want to call and ask just in case the paperwork would have gone through ...because I know on the ER discharge paperwork my diagnosis was an acute febrile episode, dehydration and Pneumonia. What do you think?? Thanks for your input
