30% of Oxygen Coming In/Out. Will BCBS PPO insurance cover this?

Question

My nose was broken once and fixed when i was younger, and I broke it again playing basketball. I have had a lot of breathing problems. I can use a CPAP machine because i only have 30% of oxygen coming in/out. Will my BCBS PPO insurance cover this?

Thank you for taking the time to share your question
The best option for you is to find a surgeon that is board certified in both facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology in order to properly address your aesthetic and possibly functional needs. The enhancement you are looking for can potentially be addressed with a closed scarless septoplasty and rhinoplasty. In the hands of a properly experienced surgeon, this technique is beneficial because of the avoidance of a scar on the outside of the nose, much more rapid and comfortable recovery compared to an ‘open’ rhinoplasty, and less disruption of the nasal tissues. Additionally, if you have nasal breathing issues, you may be able to use your health insurance to offset a significant portion of the cost.

Good luck!
