Will Medicare Cover the Whole Cost of Breast Reduction for a Woman with Size G Breasts?

User Avatar

Hello, I am a 29 year old with medicare. I have disability and that is why I am covered by it. I have size G breasts that cause me a lot of issues. (Rashes/acne, back and neck problems and shoulder/posture problems-pain) I was wondering if medicare would cover a breast reduction for me and if there would be remaining costs. How does the surgery work as far as payment? Do I pay first then possibly get reimbursed? How much is the surgery on average? How do I go about asking and getting it? Thanks
