I've asked a few questions on here and have realized I do in fact have a deviated septum. I never had my nose broken, so never thought about it too much. My middle bone in my nose is completely crooked, and I constantly had sinus issues along with what they think is sleep apnea (maybe caused by this?).
At age 2 i severely broke my nose.Ever since then i've had problems with my nose.For the past 15 years,i had irregular random headaches,bad sinus problems(I snot constantly),from ages 10-15 i would get nose bleeds constantly.My nose is fairly big, with excess tissue in the front and a little hump.I don't like the way it looks,and believe because i broke my nose at that time it grew irregularly.is this possible?would medicaid cover a septoplasty?will this surgery fix the excess tissue/hump?
Two doctor have told me I have a deviated septum, and my nose has a 'bump'. I can constantly feel the weight and pressure from it. I was recently hospitalized for Nassau I could not keep food down, they never figured out why but they considered my nose to be a possibility (Mucus). As well as breathing issues, and if it gets touched certain ways I tear up I don't think that's normal and its def. not comfortable. Will medicaid cover the cost for a SEPTORHINOPLASTY?
So I currently have Medicaid and I have a deviated septum. I want to get septoplasty, but for convenience Id like to get septorhinoplasty for the cosmetic part. I realize Ill have to pay for the rhinoplasty part, but Medicaid will still cover most of the septoplasty part right? Or will they not allow me to get the procedure since part of it is cosmetic? Also, if they do allow it, what is the estimated cost of the procedure?
