Will insurance typically cover gynecomastia surgery if it's due to an underlying medical condition like hypogonadism?

Paul2525
I was diagnosed with hypogonadism 4 years ago (T level 95ng/ml). No pituitary tumor. I was Rx'ed Testim but decided not to take it because I was worried about losing my hair plus read that T replacement therapy can cause gynecamastia to get worse. I never went back for a follow up appt. Now I do feel worse and gynecamastia is also worse. I decided to follow up and hopefully be able to have the surgery if insurance will cover it, and start taking testosterone. Should insurance cover this?
