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

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Most insurance providers will cover a septoplasty and spreader to help improve breathing.  Cosmetic procedures are out-of-pocket expenses.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Most insurance companies will not cover rhinoplasty procedures that are for cosmetic purposes. Acute trauma is typically covered, but trauma from the distant past may not be. The procedure may be covered if it is for restoring functional breathing.  Usually the functional concerns involve the septum and that is why insurance may cover this and not the rest of the procedure. Fixing the crooked nose is usually considered cosmetic. You can look into your insurance companies policy on covering nasal surgery for more details on what they will cover and what criteria must be met for them to do so. Best Regards, Dr. Weiss
