Can My Insurance Pay for Bump Removal on My Nose During Surgery for My Deviated Septum?

July 13, 2012

The doctor told me that i need surgery because of some chronic inflamation in my nose and a deviated septum. Because of that I snore and can't sleep very well but along with that surgery I would like to eliminate a little bump on my nose. Not big deal. Can my insurance pay for all together?
