"Fully participating" covers the professional fee for surgery and the administration of intravenous sedation.

The facility fee for surgery is €250.  Additional treatment during the same surgical session may not be covered by medical insurance insurance.

Insurance forms must be completed and signed prior to surgery.

If your insurance claim is not valid then you are liable for the surgical and sedation costs.
