Now that you have decided you want your tubal ligation reversal surgery as the means to having a baby, you have to figure out how to pay for it. Seeking financial assistance for tubal reversal and finding out if you qualify is usually the first thing you try to do.

Finding some financial assistance will usually start with looking at your own health insurance to see if it will cover some or even all of the costs, if you are lucky. This can take some looking on your part. That will start with looking through your insurance policy at surgical procedures and the testing required before surgery to see what exclusions are made.

You may find that your health insurance company will not cover this surgery. They consider it to be an elective procedure. That simply means you are not doing it for health reasons but simply because you want to, however great that want might be. Health insurance is to cover health issues, supposedly, and your insurance company may simply say no to what they consider to be elective.

However, upon reading your health insurance booklet, you may find that while the company will not cover all of the surgery, they will cover some aspects of the procedure such as testing and anesthesia. They just won’t cover the actual surgery.

The best way to check exactly what your current health insurance allows for and what it does not is to get hold of details of the procedure and diagnostic codes from your doctor. You can then provide these to your insurance provider and they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether insurance coverage is provided or not.

Finding out you are fortunate enough to have an insurance that might cover this tubal ligation reversal surgery is good. Keep in mind that there may still be other factors that weigh in on whether you will get coverage or not.

Some insurance companies will need to know whether the operation will be carried out in the state where you live or not. Also some companies will need to know that the operation is able to meet with certain legal requirements and if they do you may well find that some types of fertility procedures are covered under this, but it does not mean that tubal reversal will.

Just as in most medical procedures, insurance companies will most likely only pay after the surgery, and maybe even the post op visits, are complete. As a cya, this could mean your surgeon will want written confirmation that the insurance company will indeed provide financial assistance for tubal reversal surgery before he proceeds. Not a bad idea at all as things could change.
