Hello yes I need some advice I am 19years old and last time I got measured I was a size F now I am pretty sure they grew alot since I was last measured I just had my second child on april 21, 2011 I am in so much pain my back is hurting so badly that I can barely walk or move sometimes. I am 5'5. I was seeing if anyone knows any insurance company that can cover for a breast reduction. I really need it I take pain killers but none of them help at all with the pain, I also tryed a heating pad nothing I really can't deal with the pain anymore I barely can hold my one aughter because she to heavy it makes the pain worse and I dont like that I cant even hold my daughter because of my breast being to big it causing the back pain.
Answer: Insurance Varies as to coverage for Breast Reduction Unfortunately, each insurance company has their own criteria. Large breasts (macromastia) or breast hypertrophy can occur in a variety of conditions (family trait, post pregnancy, excessive adolescent growth). In general when the excessive breast size causes functional problems, insurance will generally pay for the operation if more than 400 – 500 grams are removed from each breast dependent on your individual insurance company requirements. These problems may include neck pain, back or shoulder pain, hygiene difficulty, and breast pain. Other problems which are less likely to be covered by insurance include skin irritation, skeletal deformity, breathing problems, psychological/emotional problems, and interference with normal daily activities. Pre-authorization by the insurance company is required prior to surgery, and the process takes approximately one month. Each insurance policy has different guidelines and exclusions.This procedure is commonly covered by insurance through insurance criteria are becoming more and more restrictive.
