Hi i m 30yr old guys.i need help to did the surgery for hypospadias. i have insurence also but its a conginital desease so no insurence cover it and its a complex surgery so it cost around 2000US$.
can any body help me for this or give address for any organisation,NGO
Hypospadious is a very common congenital defect and is usually corrected in infancy. There is no reason for an ins. co to deny coverage, unless you have only just bought ins after not having any at all for more than 2 months in which case there is a awaiting period to cover pre-existing conditions... which is fair, they need to protecvt themself from those who would pay for 2 months get the surgery and immediately cancel the coverage.

Hi thank you very much for your kind reply,
i have insurance from past two year,but it is in their term n condition that it is congenital disease means this is by birth disease and no insurance company cover this kind of diseases.
i also try to find out other insurance but they tell that congenital decease will not be covered.
Please help me out.
Who are you insured with?
What degree has your doctor given you. ( 1 is just before the tip 4 is all the way back on the shaft.) I am puzzled that this was not corrected when you were a small child, it may be that the ins. company is looking at this as a cosmetic repair in which case your surgeon shoudl write a letter explaining the potential health and psychsocial problems... those will cost them more than a relatively simple repair.
If you'd be more comfortable taking this off-list email me at denisehcs@gmail.com

in child hood it was not possible due to unawareness,
