Medicaid Breast Reduction

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: Breast reduction coverage by Medicaid possible?

I am a 19 year old single mother. I am 5 foot 1, and weigh 113 pounds. My breasts are a 34DD. Since I entered middle school my breasts have been abnormally large for my frame. In 6th grade I was in a C cup. Would Medicaid cover my breast reduction? And if so, how do I go about this process?

You will be hard pressed to find a plastic surgeon that accepts medicaid for breast reduction.  First it will have to be authorized.  Even if approved, the reimbursements are so low that it does not cover the time and the expense of the plastic surgeon, so most would not do it.

Good luck.
