Will Insurance Cover a Dorsal Hump? (Photo)

Insurance questions are best addressed with your insurance agent. However, generally speaking insurance does not cover Cosmetic procedures.

Thank you for your question. Since rhinoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure and not deemed medically necessary, they are generally not covered by insurance. You may be interested in nonsurgical rhinoplasty that uses hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to reshape the nose at a lower price point than surgery. Keep in mind this approach produces temporary results, so you will need to repeat your treatments regularly to maintain the improvement.

I recommend scheduling an appointment with a physician regarding your nose sensitivity and allergy concerns, as well as an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to assess your needs on a more individual basis and develop the best course of action.

Insurance companies typically will consider your situation to be cosmetic in most cases. A lot depends on your insurance company but don’t count on it.
