How To Get Otoplasty Covered By Insurance?

When it comes to cosmetic surgery procedures such as otoplasty, NHS funds are now very limited. The current health crisis with its lack of beds and extremely long waiting lists for, sometimes, quite urgent surgery means there is less funding available for less urgent procedures.

Otoplasty on the NHS is available for children with birth defects and sometimes other problems. For adults, where an ear ‘defect’ is causing severe psychological trauma, there is the possibility of NHS treatment, however there may be a long wait. Private health insurance policies may also cover situations where the problem is causing the patient distress – it is always best to check with the health insurance provider.
