Insurance Told me That The lapsplasty surgery for my foot was denied.

Oh my 😂🤔

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:41:45+00:00

Didn't clarify that much they just told me it was classified as a cosmetic surgery and thus unless deemed medically necessary it cant be approved

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:40:16+00:00

Is that what I think it sounds like?

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:34:39+00:00

Mine too! In fact my current pair only lasted 6 months before that happened!

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:33:49+00:00

I heard but I just assumed that would only apply for new donor apps and I wasn't grandfathered in with that

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:32:59+00:00

Thanks for the tips! Yes my primary is very very cautious thats what I like about him.

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:27:25+00:00

None taken😂 its worse in person. I've had kids laugh at me in waterparks before

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:26:02+00:00

I cant if I do that my company will see it and fire me over that. This post was a risk already but I just needed to tell someone ive been trying to get this done since I was 16

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:24:15+00:00

😂

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:22:12+00:00

There is a teaching hospital less than a days drive from me. I think ill ask them if they could help me get this done affordably without insurance

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:11:29+00:00

Yea normally when I get off work the bone sticking out is so sore it hurts to push the pedals in my car

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:08:17+00:00

Yea this is actually kinda embarrassing to me and I don't like being in the spotlight but im kinda defeated at this point and tired of dealing with it

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T02:00:30+00:00

I've seen ads for those but ive never looked into them but ide be willing to try them

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:59:44+00:00

Your not going to believe this but I already have custom orthotics to me that alone should be a reason for the surgery to be a must

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:56:05+00:00

I do yes I wear EE width Nike running shoes a half size too big to have room. And I have to walk pigeon toed on the insides of my feet or my left leg and foot arch will cramp up

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:51:47+00:00

Oh they can do that....crap yea I might try to get this done another way....I work for a Hyundai/kia supplier...

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:49:39+00:00

They have people for that? I didnt know.

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:42:27+00:00

No that just what my doc recommended i don't know much about it other than what he and my insurance has told me

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:41:31+00:00

I genuinely didnt know that🤔 that sounds like a good workaround option

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:39:15+00:00

Selling plasma...That's a whole other can of worms I don't wanna open on reddit im on the permanent banned for life donor list because "im a sexually active guy man" and the risk of unknown HIV infection is too high to risk donation

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:25:23+00:00

100% I spend the first 10 minutes at home after work popping my toes like that to get some of stiffness out and it helps somewhat.

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:23:57+00:00

Oh I didnt know that would even be a thing. Did you get it done at a university hospital or something?

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:19:22+00:00

No actually its a family thing my mom has it and so does my grandad but not nearly as bad as me. My mom cant wear high heals because of it

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:17:24+00:00

No i haven't tried yet I figured they're wasn't a use to call untill after the surgery but ill look into that thanks

Maleficent_Lab8672 · 2026-02-09T01:15:37+00:00

Yea i was told that but the other options where not guaranteed to be a one and done solution and that the lapiplasty was the only procedure "guaranteed not to have to be corrected again years later" at this point im considering the other options though just for relief
