Is my Gynecomastia bad enough that it could be covered by insurance? (photos)

April 1, 2020
Asked By:AskforAnswers in Boston, MA

I have had gynecomastia since my teens (24 now). I have read online that if you are on drugs like finasteride, it excludes you from being covered by your insurance. However, I have only been on fin for ONE MONTH today, so fin did not cause the gyno, although, i do not think there is a way to prove that I have only been on gyno for 1 month. I was overweight throughout teens, but have since lost 80 lbs, now 5'11 160 lbs. I have BCBS federal employee program, and the gyno does cause pain sometimes.
