Elective Medical Procedures

Elective Medical Care is care that is classified as not being medically necessary. Therefore, most elective care is not covered by major medical insurance. If a type of elective care is covered at all, the coverage is usually very minimal.

Though not considered to be medically necessary, many types of elective medical care enhance the lives of those people receiving such care.

Some examples of elective care include:

» lasik eye surgery that can negate the need for corrective lenses

» chiropractic care that can ease pain and improve mobility function

» hair replacement therapies and cosmetic surgeries that can increase self-esteem

» infertility care that can help couples begin the families that they long for

There is no doubt that elective care can enhance our lives. This section was designed to give consumers a general understanding of the common elective procedures that are available as well as to give a basic description of these procedures.
