is it possible for insurance to cover breast augmentation in patients who suffer from hypo plastic tubular breasts from PCOS?

Hi! Thanks for asking this question. Each insurance plan is different, very few, if any will cover the procedure. The best thing to do would seek a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns. If the surgeon feels that it is medically necessary an authorization can be requested from your insurance company. Best of luck to you!

Alexis.   Insurance should cover it, I but doubt it will. Insurance companies use the unfair excuse of no functional abnormality for not covering congenital breast issues similar to yours. I recommend that you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your region and explore all options for the best treatment for you. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question.  Insurance coverage typically does not cover cosmetic procedures.  That being said, best to contact your insurance carrier directly to discuss your particular circumstances.  Best of luck.

Thanks for your question.I have never seen an insurance company cover breast augmentation for PCOS related issues. However, you may want to have a formal consultation with a plastic surgeon in your state to discuss your concerns.Best, Dr. ALDO 

I doubt that your insurance will cover a breast augmentation under any circumstances.  The first thing you should do is contact your insurance carrier, explain your medical history and then go from there.  You will then need to find a surgeon willing to accept insurance for this procedure.  You may be better off going to one of the hospitals in Boston.  I wish you all the best.

In this scenario, it may be possible to enlist the assistance of your plastic surgeon to submit a letter and corroborating photos to support your case for insurance coverage.  However, it will ultimately be your insurance company's decision to approve or reject coverage.  Hope this helps!

Insurance companies only cover procedures which are medically necessary.  You may call the insurance carrier yourself to discuss the issues you have to get authorization or consult with a surgeon to review your options.  The surgeon will guide you after a thorough consultation.
