Asked By:cassie210 in Buffalo, NY

My airways are uneven in airflow and i can actually feel my cartilage cracked near my nostrils, causing a noticeable dent near the tip. Being only 18, i'm not too sure the procedures and steps to go through finding a solution. I know my insurance information but thats about it. Can anyone explain the steps to go through, such as finding a doctor, how to know if they accept my insurance, how do i contact them, email etc., or even finding out of my procedure would be covered under my insurance?
