How do I get United Healthcare to cover a breast reduction surgery? (photos)

May 20, 2015
Asked By:sillysally1972 in Greenville, SC

I am 23 and a 32G, but I'm honestly busting out of that. I am 5'2" and weigh 133 pounds. I have recently noticed that my back and shoulders have started to hurt and the pain spreads up my neck, sometimes resulting in headaches. I don't have severe dents where my bra straps sit. Working out has been difficult because my boobs bounce too much. Am I a good United Healthcare candidate? I've looked on their site, but I can't really comprehend what they mean. Please help!
