Your coverages
Is it usually covered?
The key question is whether the procedure is medically necessary or cosmetic. Purely cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance.
Procedures that are medically necessary, for example eyelid surgery when the eyelid blocks your vision, or removing a lump that needs to be checked, may be claimable under an Integrated Shield plan. Your insurer decides, often based on the doctor's report.
We will tell you honestly if something is likely to be treated as cosmetic, before you spend money on it.
