Hernia Repair While Getting Lipo In Mexico? Will it Be Covered By Insurance?
I have went to lincoln hospital in the Bronx ny for a lump in my belly button. While there they gave me a cat scan and told me everything was ok. I am scheduled to go to mexico because a friend of mine went to a doctor there and we have the same body type and i loved her results. I have gotten other opinions and was told that I do have an umbilical hernia and wanted to know if my insurance will pay for the hernia repair while im getting liposuction in mexico.

Thanks for your question You should call your insurance company but it would be highly unlikely that they would cover hernia repair by a non-US doctor at a non-US facility. In addition, you should consider the increased complication risks of having surgery performed outside of the US. Especially if you are not staying in the area for several weeks so the plastic surgeon can monitor your progress. Even traveling long distances immediately post-op increases your risk for DVT and other serious complications. I hope this helps.
