No insurance won't cover it

Christopher L. Hess, MD answers: Financing breast reduction through insurance?

If one of my breast is extremely larger than the other. Will insurance cover the procedure? One side is probably a very small A and the other is a very full B, almost C. What's your experience with this?

I do many reviews for insurance companies for both breast reduction and breast asymmetry. The reality is that your insurance company doesn't care that you have a debilitating breast abnormality. Your insurance company is only concerned about making money so the less they pay to physicians for surgery the more they keep and pay to their stockholders.

So my vast experience is that they will not pay for your surgery. Save up the money, get the opinion of several surgeons and proceed with a surgery that is on your terms not your insurance company's.
