I am a 38H. I have been getting repeated rashes under my breasts despite good hygiene practices, placing panty lines in my bra to absorb moisture, etc. The last rash spread onto my stomach and was extremely uncomfortable. It often hurts to wear bras now, even those without an underwire, because the area under my bust is very sorry.

Answer: What is the criteria for Medicaid to cover a breast reduction and/or breast lift? BRs which are medically necessary (i.e. you suffer back, shoulder, and neck "pain" with DOCUMENTED medical attention over a period of a YEAR) are typically covered, but there are other criteria such as amount of breast tissue removed. Check your Medicaid insurance plan to see if your case would be covered AND if it is, which plastic surgeons in your area would work with your plan. Reimbursement is so poor and such a bureaucratic hassle to collect that many PSs lose money on performing the surgery. Determine the availability of plastic surgery residents at the plastic surgery residency programs in GA who may perform your BR at a lower price if you have to pay for the surgery yourself.

Answer: Breast reduction The first thing you will need is to find a surgeon who will perform your procedure under Medicaid. That will most likely be a university teaching program. I would contact them and they can probably guide you through the steps involved.

Answer: Medicaid reduction criteria Every Medicaid intermediary will have its own criteria which should be available online. Generally, a course of conservative management is required and most companies impose BMI maximums. For gigantomastia, they may not be as strict. Best wishes.
