Only after Dr. Moein has examined you can he determine the bariatric and plastic surgeries that may be best for you and all associated fees. During the consultation, you can also ask about insurance and other financial concerns. This is the best way to get an exact dollar amount for the procedure(s) you have in mind.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Is There a Consultation Fee?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p>Whether you will be charged a consultation depends on the procedure you have in mind. For medical procedures, such as weight loss surgery, a consultation fee will be charged to your insurance. If you are a cash-paying patient, we will often add the consultation fee to your overall procedure fee unless a promotional discount is applied. Please understand we reserve the right to change our prices without prior posted notice. But we will notify you regarding your fee before your consultation. There are no surprises.<\/p>\n<p>Cosmetic surgery patients are not charged a consultation fee unless the consult includes functional issues or is greater than 20 min. There is a $50 no-show fee that will be charged if you do not arrive by the pre-scheduled appointment time. If you are going to cancel your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours\u2019 notice to avoid the no-show fee. At the time of your consultation, you will need to place a copy of your credit card to book a consultation. We value your time and provide you with a consultation and expect our patients to value our time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For details, call our office at\u00a0310 589 3691<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Does Insurance Cover Cosmetic Surgery? Is My Procedure Covered by Insurance?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p>Cosmetic surgery is considered an elective by insurance companies, which means that providers are hesitant to cover any procedures designed to merely enhance your appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Plastic surgeries are reconstructive in nature and are viewed differently by insurers. Examples of plastic surgeries that are often covered by insurance include breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, breast augmentation to make lopsided breasts become more symmetrical, and revising previous breast reconstructions.<\/p>\n<p>Other procedures covered by insurance can include <a href=\"https:\/\/moeinsurgicalarts.com\/es\/procedimientos-de-mama\/reduccion-de-la-mama-los-angeles\/\">breast reductions<\/a> to alleviate discomfort, <a href=\"https:\/\/moeinsurgicalarts.com\/es\/procedimientos-de-mama\/mejor-reduccion-de-pecho-para-hombres-en-los-angeles\/\">male breast reduction<\/a>, panniculectomy (the removal of excess fat and skin after significant weight loss), and the <a href=\"https:\/\/moeinsurgicalarts.com\/es\/before-and-after-cosmetic-surgery\/tummy-tuck-antes-y-despues\/\">tummy tuck<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Whether insurance will cover your procedure depends on your insurance provider and the surgery in question. Ask Dr. Moein about the costs associated with surgery and whether insurance will pick up the tab during your initial consultation.
