Would insurance cover fixing my nose if I broke it a while ago?

Asked By:jpease1020 in Charlotte, NC

I've had breathing problems for a while. I recently saw an ENT who said I have a deviated septum. I also broke my nose a few years back and it's been crooked ever since but lacked the insurance and money to fix it. I didn't see a doctor at the time. I found a document from current my insurance company stating rhinoplasty due to documented trauma is covered. I recently saw a local Ent/Plastic Surgeon who said fixing the septum would be covered but making the nose straight would not. Was he wrong?
