Insurance Coverage for Fixing Broken Nose?

August 18, 2009
Asked By:brooklynn72 in spring

I got hit in the nose, and I'm wondering about how I can get it fixed. I don't want to say i have a deviated septum because I don't. I can breathe perfectly fine. It's crooked and ruins my self-esteem. Is there a way to get this fixed off of my insurance? I should be having medicare/medicaid soon.Will I need to have a nasty crooked scar, or a scar in general, on the tip of my nose even though it isnt a whole nose fix? This was about a year and 1/2 ago. I know it's been long, but I have parents that don't find it very important as much as I do. What do I do to get it back to the way it was? Thanks.
