I have late onset non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which has caused me to have tuberous breasts. Due to this it is very hard for me to find a bra that doesnt hurt the sides of my breasts, so I end up wearing sports bras a lot.

With a endocrinologist report to my insurance, will they cover it?Its United Healthcare unfortunately.
