Health insurance coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of Kienböck's disease---a condition in which the lunate bone loses its blood supply and dies inside the wrist---depends entirely on a patient's insurance company and specific insurance policy, including types and levels of testing and/or treatment and whether the insurance company considers the condition pre-existing.
