Answer: Insurance coverage for breast reduction This procedure is commonly covered by insurance though insurance criteria are becoming more and more restrictive. You need to contact United Health Care directly Although we do not accept insurance, our staff will assist you in obtaining pre-authorization so that you can attempt to be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses Large breasts (#macromastia) or breast hypertrophy can occur in a variety of conditions (family trait, post pregnancy, excessive adolescent growth). In general when the excessive breast size causes functional problems, insurance will generally pay for the operation if more than 400 – 500 grams are removed from each breast dependent on your individual insurance company requirements. These problems may include #neckpain, back or shoulder pain, hygiene difficulty, and #breastpain. Other problems which are less likely to be covered by insurance include skin irritation, skeletal deformity, breathing problems, psychological/emotional problems, and interference with normal daily activities. Pre-authorization by the insurance company is required prior to surgery, and the process takes approximately one month. Each insurance policy has different guidelines and exclusions.

Answer: Breast reduction insurance Depending on your situation, insurance may be able to subsidize the cost of breast reduction. Some breast reduction coverage requirements where I practice in Ontario include your current cup size, the amount of breast tissue removed during surgery, unsuccessful experiences with alternative treatments and medications, as well as recommendations for breast reduction from other specialists, such as chiropractors and neurosurgeons.Please see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to find out whether you are a suitable candidate for breast reduction first. You will most likely have to wait at least 6 months or so after you've stopped breastfeeding before you can pursue surgery. Breast reduction may inhibit breast feeding, although this is just a risk and not guaranteed.

Answer: Breast Reduction and Breast Feeding?
Thank you for the question.
Most breast reduction procedures involved leaving a certain amount of tissue intact to supply blood flow to the nipple/areola; this tissue is called the pedicle. These “pedicles” can bring blood flow from above (superior) or from below (inferior). It is the presence of this breast tissue that makes breast-feeding an option for many patients who have undergone breast reduction surgery.
I am not aware of any studies that show one technique demonstrating a higher rate of success of breast-feeding. It may be difficult to quantify since some ladies are not able to proceed, without having had breast surgery at all.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast Reduction-Does Insurance cover This is always a tough question.If a patient is symptomatic then usually yes.Insurance companies usually take your weight and height and have a formula to decide how much breast tissue needs to be removed.Many times people come in who are overweight AND have large breasts and the insurance company will say lose 40#.I tell my patients insurance companies want to deny claims so they can hold on to your money.I would complete my nursing and allow the breasts to settle before considering a breast reduction.also you probably will NOT be able to breast feed in the future if you should become pregnant.
