Crooked Nose: Covered by Insurance? (photo)

You need to have your nose fully examined by a specialist with a thorough understanding of nasal obstruction correction to see what can be done to help your breathing and smell.

Insurance can cover functional surgery to help with chronic congestion. This would include septoplasty, turbinate reduction, alar batten grafts and/or spreader grafts. 

Insurance doesn't cover surgery to correct tip bulbosity or a bump, but this can be done at the same time as functional surgery if you want.

You are certaqinly a good candidate for a rhinoplasty based in your photos.  What needs to be done to improve your breathing cna only be assessed by a physical exam.  As far as whether insurance would cover all or part of the cost depends on a number of issues.  If the crookedness is the result of an injury, insurance would bmore likely to cover the cost.  If not, they may cover only the part involving your breathing, but not any  cosmetic alterations.  You should check with your insurnace carrier to determine their policy, then consult with a surgeon who can assess your situation and obtain insurance preauthorization.
