Yes, mine was covered without prior knowledge of a hernia.

As it turns out I did have a little hernia in there but we

didn't know that beforehand and insurance approved anyway.

I had a hernia repair and TT in June of 2001 -- my insurance paid for the hernia

but refused to pay for the TT. Because of the big hernia and the TT I ended up

staying overnight and the insurance co refused to pay for that too. They can be

very difficult -- they even refused to pay after photos and appeals. What can

you do?
