Last night, one of our local stations had a segment about robotic surgery for ovarian cysts. Reporter mentioned its use locally on thoracic and cardiac surgery.
She also mentioned that not all insurance companies cover robotic surgery, and cautioned patients to run that past their carriers.
That's the first I've heard of this.
Perhaps robotic surgery falls into the same class as virtual colonoscopies, which aren't covered by all insurance carriers.
Any info on coverage of robotic procedures??
