Does GEHA Cover Breast Reduction?

User Avatar
NYSwagger
I'm a 46 yr old 5'0" female weighing 116 lbs. I'm a 36DD and would like to reduce to a 36B. I've experienced all the symptoms; chronic back pain, neck and shoulder pain, bad posture ect. due to my large breasts. I have medical insurance with GEHA and was wondering if they cover the procedure & what their pre-requisites are. Poor body image & high cost have precluded me from seeking medical advice for this issue in the past. Also, I am a pack a day smoker so is this even an option for me?
