    Hey
    I've had health insurance about 4 years now

    I've had an op on one of my legs and its completely changed how i walk
    I paid privately for the op as the health insurance company turned down cover - stating I needed 5 years of insurance*


    it's likely I need a similar op on the other leg now as my walk is completely altered-
    I'm rolling on my ankle and having tons of new problems on the opposite with such a drastic change from the opposite legs procedure - the oeprated leg is working completely differently now and bio mechanics are altered

    QUESTION****

    Will the health insurance cover the procedure on the other leg as the first op has changed my entire gait and I can't walk
    or will it be a case of them refusing cover again?

    When something has created new problems and changed things - are they likely to cover it?

    It is a unique situation as it's not a hip or knee replacement but an alteration in bio mechanics

    Nobody here can answer that OP.

    You need to ask you insurer. Good luck.
