I have insurance but how much will I need to pay up front before the breast reduction surgery?

It will depend on what plan you have with your insurance company. Deductibles can vary and you may or may not have a co-pay. Look for an in-network Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, your surgeon will be able to help you get approval and let you know what fees you will be responsible for. Good luck!

Your insurance will have specific requirements for payments. Your Plastic Surgeon will know or find out the specifics of your policy.Good LuckStephen M.Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery

How much of a Breast reduction surgery will cost depends upon your insurance benefits. Most insurances have IN and OUT of network benefits. In network benefits are usually better than out-of-network benefits. For the most cost-effective procedure, you should go to a physician who is in your network.  The final cost will depend on what the insurance allows for payment, copayment and deductible.  remember that there are three fees involved in any surgery, surgeons fee, anesthesia fee and Operating room fee. 

Thank you for your question.  Every insurance company is different, and every person's individual insurance policy within a company will vary.  You should contact your insurance company and inquire what your anticipated costs would be based on your particular policy.  Your plastic surgeon's office can also assist you with this.  Good luck. 

It is quite possible that your health insurance may authorize and cover the cost of a breast reduction.  You should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and see if the surgeon can gain authorization.  If you had to pay out of pocket, the costs for the operating room, anesthesia and the surgery would total approxmately $9,000.

If you have insurance and you're going to a surgeon who works with and accepts that insurance, there should be no other charge. If your surgeon does not accept the insurance payment schedule, then you will have to ask the surgeon that question.
