Insurance coverage for breast hypoplasia
Unfortunately most insurance carriers consider this a cosmetic procedure now; I occasionally got this covered a number of years ago, but it is routinely denied now. If the correction involves a component of soft tissue reconstruction (e.g. a flap reconstruction) it might be that a pre-determination would be worthwhile, but certainly no guarantees could be made that this would afford insurance coverage.

It may be covered by the insurance if need more than implant for augmentation
If you have true breast deformity ,your insurance may cover it if requires reconstruction rather than augmentation . Depending on your insurance company and their restrictions, reconstruction may be covered. The most common diagnosis that covered is Poland's syndrome which is complete absence of the breast tissue.

Hypoplastic breast insurance coverage
Occasionally a onesided hypoplastic breast may be covered by generous insurance carrier. Visit with a local plastic surgeon for an evaluation and if deemed appropriate a predetermination letter can assess the possibility of your carriers coverage. Good luck
