Am I Canidate for a Reduction Through Humana?

I have been reading and researching breast reduction that I do think I need, but I have noticed that insurance companies set guidlines and if you are a valid case for the reduction. I am 30 yo, done having kids, 5'10", 200 lbs and wear a size 38DD. I have suffered from migraines for about 8 yrs now. My nero dr and I decided it was muscle tension in my neck and shoulders. I also get back pain and spasms. Do you think my insurance (humana) will see me as a canidate? I'm worried I won't be.
