Скачать или смотреть Insurance Denies Hand Reattachment as “Cosmetic” Because It’s Non-Dominant

Insurance denied a hand reattachment surgery—calling it “cosmetic” because the amputated hand was non-dominant.

In this video, Aaron the Social Worker recreates a call to the insurance company after a patient’s left hand was severed in a traumatic accident and the claim for reattachment was denied. Not because the injury wasn’t real. Not because the surgery wouldn’t restore function. But because policy language decided the hand wasn’t “necessary.”

This is satire based on real insurance denial language and real appeals that social workers, nurses, and patient advocates face every day. The scenario is dramatized—but the reasoning behind it is painfully accurate.

Topics covered in this video:
• Insurance defining function as “cosmetic”
• Non-dominant vs. dominant hand denials
• Medical necessity vs. policy language
• How insurance overrides clinical judgment
• The hidden reality of insurance appeals

If you work in healthcare, social work, mental health, patient advocacy, or disability services, this will sound uncomfortably familiar.
