Will Insurance Cover my Septoplasty And/or Rhinoplasty? I've Developed Sleep Apnea. I sustained a trauma to my nose in 2005. My nose was pushed to the side of my face. The doctor cracked it back into place, but it is still misaligned and has a dent on the side. I had insurance then and still have insurance, but with a different carrier. I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea in 2009 and sleep with a cpap machine on high pressure. I was wondering if insurance is likely to cover septoplasty and/or rhinoplasty? My current insurance is crap and excludes sleep apnea treatment.

A: Rhinoplasty, Sleep apnea and Insurance

I wish I ccould give youo the simple answer, but it depends on your insurance carrier. Many will cover the allowed expense of a septorhinoplasty if it is the result of trauma. Others will say the external nasal wwork is cosmetic and will only cover the septum. Many doctors will not accept what insurance reimburses as the full cost. I would see several plastic surgeons in consultation. Once you have decided on one of them a pre-authorization can be obtained and they caan check with yoyour insurance company to see what is covered. Then you can determine your out of pocket expense. Good luck
