Will insurance cover surgery for even the slightest deviated septum?

 Everyone has some degree of mild deviation  of the nasal septum which does not need to be repaired. Medical necessity is required to be able to bill an insurance company for that issue. This must be documented at the time of the examination/ consultation. Preauthorization with your medical insurance will also be required. A septoplasty will not straight the external portion of the nose. A cosmetic rhinoplasty  accomplishes straightening the crooked nose, and must be paid for by the patient.
