What Do I Need to Do for BCBS of NJ PPO to Cover my Breast Reduction?

October 3, 2010
Asked By:shannonskinner in Las Vegas

I am 29 and 5"3 and weigh 140 lbs. I push out of a 34dd and would like to go down to a 34 full b/c. I have gone through two pregnancies/nursing and am now done. I have waited the 7 mo post nursing and have lost all the weight and then some. I have BCBS of NJ ppo and would like them to cover surgery as I cannot alone. I have documented with past ob/gyns the neck/back pain and headaches. Any words of advice to make this go smoothly with insurance. (live in NV with surgeons in ntwrk)
