Could anyone estimate roughly how much would I pay for the Rhinoplasty portion of a rhinoseptoplasty in Ontario?

My experience with getting reasonable insurance coverage has been disappointing.  The total cost of your procedure will probably be in the $8000 range.  However, insurance may only cover a few thousand and that might not even enable you to cover your deductible.

This is largely dependent upon the amount of work done and the demand for the surgeon.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

 It varies greatly. It depends on how involved the rhinoplasty portion of your surgery is.  it also depends on how much of your surgery is covered by insurance. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for a thorough evaluation.

The cost of the rhinoplasty is determined by a combination of 3 fees: These are time in the operative room, time under anesthesia, and the surgeon's fee for performing the cosmetic rhinoplasty. A septoplasty  is performed only after examination and consultation of the internal portion of the nose to document it for medical necessity. There are many other components inside the nose that can cause nasal obstruction such as turbinate hypertrophy, valve collapse, allergies, and chronic sinusitis. Each one of these treated differently with either medications or surgery. When the functional component of the surgery such as a septoplasty is billed to the patient's medical insurance for medical necessity, the co-pays  and deductibles still apply to the anesthesia, operating room and surgeons fees. These determinations can be made only after consultation and examination in the office when pre- authorization is performed.

Septorhinoplasty is a combined procedure allowing both functional and aesthetic changes made to the nose. The "septo" portion addresses the breathing function and the "rhinoplasty" portion addresses the aesthetic or cosmetic changes. When seeing your surgeon for consultation an examination is done which will determine whether or not you have a deviated septum and what the degrees of deviation are.  This will also determine other factors besides the deviation that may need corrected i.e. turbinate reduction to address breathing function. Once it is determined that these factors are causing problems then a pre-certification can be done to your insurance company to determine if or what percentage of the procedure they will cover.
