Insurance
Insurance and Payments
Dr. Irvine is an in-network provider with Medicare and with most major commercial PPO insurances including:
- Blue Shield
- Anthem Blue Cross
- United Health Care
- Cigna
- Aetna
- ILWU/Coastwise
The medical insurance landscape is increasingly complex and fragmented. There are certain medical groups (within some of the larger umbrella insurance companies) that have narrower physician networks. In some cases (for example, CalPERS within Blue Shield but not within Blue Cross) Dr Irvine may not be in-network. It is always most accurate to contact your insurance company’s member services or use the “Physician Finder” option on your insurance plan’s website to confirm network status.
We have experienced staff here to help if you need more information.

Cosmetic Financing
We participate with CareCredit to assist with financing for cosmetic consultations and procedures.
Insurance Coverage and Partial Coverage
Dr. Irvine will explain whether she believes that your surgery would meet criteria for insurance coverage. Generally, insurance companies will not cover facial plastic surgery procedures performed solely for cosmetic purposes. Occasionally there are procedures that address cosmetic components and functional issues during the same operation. In these cases, your insurance may cover the functional portion of the procedure while the remaining cosmetic procedure will be an out-of-pocket expense. Insurance coverage is subject to deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, which may be out-of-pocket depending on your particular insurance plan.
