Insurance Coverage for Tuberous Breast Reconstruction?

April 16, 2009
Asked By:Brizzazz in Los Angeles, CA

I noticed only one doctor addressed the insurance coverage for "snoopy" or "tuberous" breasts. Is it common for most insurance companies to pay for the correction? Which insurance provider would be the best choice? Any recommendations for surgeons in Colorado that are experienced with this condition? Thank you!
