I've yet to find a Plastic Surgeon who takes Medicare to try. I don't "think" Medicare pre-approves anything, though, so I'd think a doc would still probably make you pay up front.

(Same boat here.)

I know for an absolute certainty that Dr. Huang has taken

Medicaid and Medicare to remove implants. But, the medical necessity

standards still apply. You must have a very good reason, Baker 3 or

4 hardness, pain, rupture, or some other reason that 2 doctors will

say it is a medical necessity to remove them.
