Furthermore, an UpToDate review on “Pectus excavatum: Treatment” (Mayer, 2021) states that “A novel approach to pain management is cryoablation of the intercostal nerves in the region of the repair (termed cryoanalgesia), which prevents afferent conduction and therefore the perception of pain. The nerves eventually heal, and sensation and efferent function is restored. The most prominent advantage is a decrease in the postoperative length of stay and need for postoperative narcotics”. However, cryoablation of the intercostal nerves is not listed in the “Summary and Recommendations” section of the review.
These researchers recommended operative repair for pectus excavatum with a correction index of 28 % or more , because this value correlated with the long-accepted standard (Haller index greater than or equal to 3.25) and this index remains accurate even in non-standard chest morphologies.

Pectus carinatum is a developmental deformity of the chest characterized by a protrusion of the sternum and ribs. It is extremely uncommon that pectus carinatum will cause a functional/physiological deficit. Pectus carinatum (PC) orthotic compression bracing uses a customized chest wall brace which applies direct, constant pressure to the protruding area of the chest with the goal of reshaping the chest and sternum. The brace has front and back compression pads that are attached to aluminum bars which are bound together by a tightening mechanism. Regular monitoring and adjustment is generally required. PC surgery includes removing the affected cartilages to mobilize both the pectoralis (chest muscles) flaps and mobilizing the skin to straighten the sternum. These surgical techniques include, but may not be limited to: costal cartilage subperichondral resection, osteotomy, and wedge shaped osteotomy in the anterior sternal plate.
Aetna considers bracing and surgical procedures to correct pectus carinatum cosmetic because this deformity does not cause physiologic disturbances from compression of the heart or lungs.
A CT scan of the chest demonstrates a pectus index, derived from dividing the transverse diameter of the chest by the anterior-posterior diameter, greater than 3.25.
An UpToDate review on “Pectus excavatum: Treatment” (Mayer, 2013) states that “Currently, surgical correction for PE is done with either the modified Ravitch procedure (open resection of the subperichondrial cartilage and sternal osteotomy, with placement of an internal stabilizing device), or the Nuss procedure (minimally invasive technique in which a curved bar is inserted to lift the sternum; the bar is removed about two years later)”.
Reconstructive procedures include surgery or other procedures which are associated with an Injury, Sickness or Congenital Anomaly. The primary result of the procedure is not a changed or improved physical appearance for cosmetic purposes only, but rather to improve function and/or to create a normal appearance, to the extent possible.
It is extremely uncommon that pectus carinatum will cause a functional/physiological deficit. Requests for coverage of repair of pectus carinatum will be reviewed by a UHC Medical Director on a case by case basis
