Are hysteroscopies reimbursed by health insurance?

If a woman undergoes an outpatient hysteroscopy to determine the specifics of an intrauterine bulge, she will not be reimbursed by her health insurance and will have to pay for it entirely out of pocket. However, if a woman needs a hysteroscopy due to abnormal vaginal bleeding or the discovery of an intrauterine mass, which is often performed inpatient, the medical insurance will reimburse her, but the percentage of reimbursement will vary from person to person. Hysteroscopy is not just an examination, but can also be performed under the hysteroscope, such as curettage, IUD removal, and endometrial polyp removal. Women with uterine scar diverticula can also undergo hysteroscopic repair of incisional diverticula, where the lesion is particularly clear under the scope and not too traumatic.
