Title: Insurance question
Post by: chasema on May 17, 2018, 12:40:57 PM
Good news for me. Insurance will cover Xiaflex or Grafting operation with a small copay. I was asked to go to medical policy G-9-017 of Highmark site and read weather my situation meets criteria of peyronies for approval. I read this policy and got no info that could be understood by myself, since it was written by doctors for doctors. From what I thought it had to be over 30 (mine is about 45degree bend) some pain and some ED issues. Does anyone know for sure? I don't want to waste my time going to doctor just to hear I didn't meet that.

If they deny based on palpable plaque—appeal based on ultrasound or scan which is more definitive anyway.
