This is a YouTube video titled "Breast Implant Explant Cost & Insurance Coverage Explained!" containing a conversation involving Dr. Robert Whitfield and another speaker discussing the costs and insurance coverage related to breast implant explant surgeries. The discussion includes Dr. Whitfield's experience with insurance contracts and patient claims as of 2019.
What does something like this cost?
Yeah.
And does insurance cover it or.
Well, that's interesting. I got asked this earlier today. In fact, in 2019, I was finishing up my. My cancer career. I wasn't doing any more reconstructions, and I was still seeing cancer patients that I had operated on. And we ended up getting kind of reprimanded by an insurance company because they said, oh, you can't do these surgeries and request that the insurance company reimburse somebody for an explant that was done cosmetically because you have an insurance contract. And I wasn't using or adding new insurance patients or anything like that. I had stopped. So we had to terminate all of our insurance contracts, and we let patients have all of their notes, all of their records, and file their own claims.
