At one point the Cleft Palate Foundation web page mentioned a piece of legislation for children with disabilities. If passed, this would make it illegal for insurance to deny claims based on "cosmetic" reasons for ANY surgeries assiciated with a birth defect, including plastic surgery for cleft lip/ palate correction and revision. Does anyone know if this went through or how to find out??????? It would make a big difference to all of us!
