Would insurance cover a BA if I have pectus carniatum?

Tigolbittiessoon
I suffer from pectus carniatum and I was wondering if insurance would cover a BA to make me feel "normal" . If so , is it a hard process? Do you pay first and they reimburse? I know it's different with every insurance but what's more common? Would our surgeon help with the process? I can't afford it and I know this will help me psychologically. Thank you!
