Tips and Chances of Getting Breast Reduction Approved by Insurance?

User Avatar
AJ2517
I am 29 years old, 5'8 and 150lb. I wear a 32-34 G+ and am considering breast reduction. I live in Florida and have Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. I know that I have to call and make sure that my specific plan does not have a contract exclusion but what are my chances of getting approved for this with BCBS in FL? I have a lot of back and neck pain as well as my shoulders being rolled forward because of the weight and my bra straps dig into my shoulders causing severe pain. Tips? TIA
