Insurance denial - would it be worth it to get a second opinion?

Asked By:Warmhearted970243 in North Andover, Massachusetts

I want a breast reduction to relieve back neck and shoulder problems. I have mild scoliosis and loose collagen in my joints. I am 5feet tall 190 pounds and a 36DDD. I want to be a C and the surgeon said she would only remove 200 grams from one breast and 300 from the other. My insurance requires 350 grams to cover it. Would it be worth it to get a second opinion?
