A woman in Denver feels her auto insurance should pay forreconstructive surgery to repair a breast implant that ruptured ina car crash in June 2013, according to a report by 7NEWS. Nearly eight months after the accident, thewoman is still waiting for the insurer's ruling on whether it willpay for the repair or not.
|On Jan. 1, the insurance company acknowledged that the woman'spolicy had $5,000 in Medical Payment coverage that may be used for“reasonable and necessary” medical treatments caused by theaccident, says 7NEWS. Whether or not reconstructive breastaugmentation falls into that category has yet to be determined bythe insurer.
|In the meantime, the insurance company has asked the woman tohave the surgery and then submit receipts for reimbursement, aswith most medical costs.
