I broke my nose when I was younger. Over the years as I got older, my nose has now grown crooked. Will my insurance cover this?

Thanks for your question. Generally speaking your insurance will cover any issue that affects the function of your nose, meaning how well you can breathe through your nose. They generally do not cover cosmetic issues of the nose or how the nose appears. There can be some crossover in some situations and your surgeon may be able to get things covered particularly if they are willing to speak to the insurance company personally. I would recommend that you seek out an experienced nasal surgeon, perhaps even an ENT/ Facial plastic surgeon as they are often very attuned to the particular needs of a reconstructive nasal patient. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your question. An operation to fix the appearance of your nose after a trauma may be covered by insurance, depending on your plan. My suggestion would be to have your family doctor refer you to a board certified plastic surgeon to get a surgical opinion. All the best.
