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?

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.   

Because your corrective surgery is related to your cleft lip it may be covered by insurance. Most insurance companies will cover this through age 18. Talk to your Surgeon's office about seeking authorization for coverage. It will depend on the company and the type of policy you have now.
