Will insurance cover my breast reduction? (Photo)

Hi there, it depends on your insurance plan! You should be able to call the number on your insurance card to see if your specific plan covers mastopexy. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your question! Every insurance is different so I would start with your insurance. See what they need (ie: documentation from your PCP, chiropractor notes, etc) and then work on getting those items together. Good luck!

Hi Katiebabylady,
Insurance breast reduction is a process, which a board certified plastic surgeon can help you to navigate. Many insurance programs will require documentation of multiple visits to your PCP for back/neck/shoulder pain, and referrals to a chiropractor and/or physical therapist. A track record of these visits can help your plastic surgeon to make a better argument about your candidacy for breast reduction. When you meet with your plastic surgeon, he or she will estimate the amount of weight to be removed--and your insurance will take all of these factors (symptoms, history of visits to other providers, estimated weight to be removed) into consideration.
I would suggest continuing to meet with medical providers to document your symptomatology, and to make an appointment to see a board certified plastic surgeon to determine how much weigh could be removed.
Hope this helps.
