Answer: Medicaid will sometimes cover breast reduction. Medicaid will cover breast reduction if there is a functional impairment. You'll have to find a surgeon who accepts Medicaid and he can inquire on your behalf.

Answer: Insurance Every insurance plan has their own unique criteria on whether they will cover a breast reduction. More and more, we are seeing plans where a breast reduction is not a covered benefit. If it is a covered benefit, some insurance plans set a minimum required amount of tissue to be remove in order to met their threshold for coverage. Some set the amount in relation to your BMI (height and weight). Others require extensive medical records documenting neck pain, back pain, and history of rashes. The other alternative is to opt for a breast reduction as a self-pay option. Start by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options.Best wishes,Dr. BasuHouston, TX

Answer: Will medicaid cover for my Breast Reduction? You would need an exam to determine that, but under the right circumstances Medicaid does cover the procedure. Unfortunatly, the reimbursement is so low that it will be hard to find a doctor who can afford to do the surgery.
