I was born with a cliff lip, had a few corrective surgeries as an infant. I am now 34 yrs old. Will insurance cover Rhinoplasty?

yes, insurance should cover rhinoplasty to correct associated nose changes caused by a cleft lip.  This is considered reconstructive surgery.  Ask your surgeon to apply to the insurance company for prior approval.

Hi Stacey,  Thank you for your question.  It is very difficult to get your rhinoplasty covered by insurance especially if the surgery is performed by a plastic surgeon.  It is recommended to have your primary physician to help you with this information  and submitting the information to your insurance to see if they would approve it as medically necessary.  

Insurance coverage for rhinoplasty in the cleft lip nose is possible if you have a breathing problem. Check with your insurance company first so you don't have any surprises.
