Payment:
As a public, non-profit institution, we welcome most private insurance
coverage, MediCal and California Children's Services (CCS). Most
insurance providers cover the costs associated with evaluation and
treatment of medically diagnosed craniofacial anomalies. It is important
to know that surgical interventions that are needed to address the
unique needs of children with such conditions are considered reconstructive
not cosmetic. Contact us with specific questions about authorization
for treatment.
Lodging in
San Francisco:
Since many patients and families need to travel great distances
to come to our Center, a list of local
accommodations has been compiled for the convenience of patients
and their families who seek short-term lodging. None of these accommodations
are affiliated in any manner with UCSF. The University has not
inspected these units, and cannot recommend or be responsible for
the quality of the lodging or the accuracy of the information provided
in the list.
