    1. answer is yes

    explanation: because deviated septum is only corrected by surgery and there is no other way to deal with it, and it is a proper health issue requiring to be dealt with to maintain patient's health, this is why deviated septum will be covered by health insurance

    2. The answer is yes

    explanation: moles can be non-cancerous and cancerous which could be dangerous for the patient, so it is necessary to deal with the mole and treat it for the better health of the patient

    3. The answer is no

    explanation: this wouldn't be covered because hair loss in males is a cosmetic issue, not a life-threatening issue. only the life-threatening issues are covered

    4. The answer is no

    explanation: if a patient breaks hi's wrist only the wrist needs to be treated and examined not he whole body, the affected area is the body gets to be treated only, so the broken wrist would be examined by x-ray

    and other necessary treatments for the broken wrist would be covered

    5. The answer is no

    explanation: Susie is in no dangerous health condition, the blemish she wants to be removed is not harmful or threatening to her life, and health insurance doesn't cover any issue that doesn't concern with the health of the patient, therefore the insurance will not cover the treatment of removing the blemish on her arm
