Every policy is different. Call your insurance company and ask.
When I had my DS my company was self-insured (the insurance company simply acts as the administrator of the policy). They denied the initial request for coverage but I was able to fight it. They ultimately did.
I noticed you're in Herndon. What surgeon are you looking at for the DS?
