| Insurance Excluded Treatments |
We know that even the best insurances in USA exclude a variety of treatments and procedures. The policyholder has to pay these from the out-of-pocket expenses. Most policies do not cover treatments such as cosmetic surgeries, dental implants, vision treatments (Lasik), infertility procedures, weight loss, rehabilitation programs, prosthetics, etc. Even if the policy allows such treatments, many place restrictions on prescriptions, pre-existing conditions, post-operative care and congenital disorders. Due to these reasons many Americans are flying abroad to have their treatments done at a fraction of the cost when compared to USA.
