Insurance will pay for true breast reductions

Kevin Brenner, MD answers: Breast reduction after pregancy

hi i'm a 21-year-old-mother who gave birth over 14-months ago,my problem is that i always had an a-cup breast and during my pregnancy my breast changed to a c-cup and stayed that way. i never felt back pain until my pregnancy and now a year later its still there. hypothetically i drew the conclusion it's my breast after reviewing diffrent stories. because my back,neck and sholders are hurting and my breast is so heavy. do you think my insurance company would cover it even though i'm not a d-cup? (i included a pic) thanks in advance dana321

Your symptoms of back, neck and shoulder pain are quite typical. Most insurance companies will pay for breast reduction that needs to be done for medical reasons. However, each company's criteria are a bit different, so be sure to check with your insurance provider beforehand.
