Q: Will Medicaid cover Breast Reduction for H cup breasts?
Medicaid may cover this surgery but there needs to be a preoperative authorization obtained. You may or may not qualify just depends on what their requirements are.
That is not so much an issue but finding a qualified plastic surgeon that would be willing to undertake this huge operation under medicaid payment. This surgery is already underpaid by PPO health insurance and others. Medicaid payment would even be lower than others and most qualified board certified plastic surgeons do not do any surgeries under medicaid for that reason.
You may have some luck with the county teaching hospitals where residents are supervised to perform these surgeries. You may want to check with your local county hospital.
Good luck.
