I'm 37 years old my bra size is 36h and I want to be 36b. Will insurance cover my breast reduction?

At
size 36 each 200 grams of tissue corresponds to 1 cup size change. To go from a 36 H to a 36 B would require
1200 grams removed per breast. Insurance
would probably cover this size reduction.
However, that reduction may be inappropriate for you. The goal of breast surgery is to have breasts
proportionate to your body size.
Excessive reduction will not look proportional to your body and you
would be dissatisfied. The most common
complaint after breast reduction is over reduction. I recommend a new technique called The
Ultimate Breast ReductionTM.
This technique reshapes your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness,
elevates them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your
cleavage. At the same time, the size can
be reduced proportional to your body, yet eliminate pain. Pain is eliminating by transferring the
weight of the breast to the underlying muscle rather than excessive
reduction. This technique avoids the
ugly vertical scars of the traditional technique, maintains nipple sensation
and the ability to breast feed. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Every insurance individual policy is a little bit different. You can simply call your insurance carrier and ask them for the specific requirements for your policy. The general thing that insurance companies want to know is if the size of the breasts are causing you to have issues that are affecting your day to day activities. This could include back and neck pain or problems with rashes of the skin under the breasts. You will need documentation of the severity and duration of these complaints and then documentation of the non-surgical treatments that you have tried that have failed (support bras, anti-inflammatory medications, heat and cold application, exercises, etc.) Many insurance carriers rely on a scale based on your height and weight to determine how much breast tissue needs to be removed in order to qualify for coverage. These are all things that you can discuss with the plastic surgeon that you choose. Best of luck.

You are probably a candidate, but insurance policies can differ. See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in breast surgery to help you get authorization, they know how to help you jump through all the required hoops. If you should get denied, ask your surgeon to appeal your case, I have gotten many patients approved this way. Good luck.
