I was wondering if anyone here has HealthNet? Specifically in the NY area. My husband has coverage through them and I may consider switching over to his plan (if his company still offers it) when he has open enrollment.
I contacted HealthNet a few months ago and asked if they covered TDR. I pulled the ICD-9 code for TDR off of their website. While they couldn't tell me whether or not HealthNet would pay for the surgery, they told me it was a billable code. I have no idea if this is something to get excited over or not, so I wanted to see if anyone else has heard of this. Thanks!
