Insurance coverage for bunion surgery varies depending on the plan and provider. Most insurance companies will cover at least part of the surgery’s cost if it is medically necessary.

Cost is a key factor influencing coverage. Outpatient surgeries are more cost-effective than inpatient ones. Minimally invasive surgeries, which cause less pain and have shorter recovery times, are generally more affordable.

Many insurance plans require preauthorization for surgical procedures. This means that the surgery must be approved by the insurance company before it is performed to ensure coverage.
