Insurance Coverage Data from Dr. Eaton

My insurance company declined coverage for NA I had in late January. What is the experience with insurance coverage of others who have had NA either in the US or France?

Insurance Coverage Data from Dr. Eaton

Is this covered by insurance? Yes.
What do I need to tell my insurance company? Your insurance company will want to know the insurance codes for your
Diagnosis: ICD Code 728.6 (Dupuytren's)
and your
Procedure: CPT Code 26040 (Percutaneous Fasciotomy - one finger)
Under very unusual circumstances, the procedure may possibly also include CPT 26060 Tenotomy (for boutonniere deformity) or 26525 Capsulotomy (for severe PIP joint contracture).

Steve,

I suggest you file a complaint with your insurance Co. Would they have rather paid hundreds of dollars for a traditional surgical procedure?
