Answer: Breast Reduction Revision
It really depends on your insurance, some will and some wont. It just depends on who reviews the preauthorization paper work.
You plastic surgeon will have to take pictures and submit it to the insurance company to see if they approve the surgery. I would likley say they will not.

Answer: Insurance Rarely Covers Breast Reduction Revision Insurance companies in general are only concerned about solving functional problems (e.g back or breast pain, inability to wear clothes or exercise, etc). They are not concerned about cosmetic appearance and it his highly unlikely that they will cover any revisions for this purpose. I would return to your original surgeon who will likely discount his services if this was related to his surgery. There is a chance that they will cover because of your complaints of pain but unlikely.

Answer: Insurance coverage?
Thank you for the question.
Every insurance company has different policy as far as what are considered medically necessary and covered benefits. Generally, the more supporting documentation ( of medical necessity) you have from your primary care physician and/or plastic surgeon the better your chances for obtaining coverage.
Best wishes.

Answer: Check with your insurance plan first It is important to check with your plan first if this type of revisional surgery is coverd. Next would be to find a plastic surgeon who participates in your plan. The other option is to have the surgery done by an experienced plastic surgeon, even though he/she might not be on your plan. He/she can still submit the claim, but your insurance might cover only part of the surgical cost. Some plans require preauthorization first and would not cover medical expenses retrograde. Good luck.
