My currently wear 34G bra. Would I qualify for insurance coverage of breast reduction?

Mommato1
My bra size is 34 g. I am 5'7" and weigh 155 pounds. Based on the schnur scale I would have to have 440 grams removed for insurance to cover. Would I qualify for a breast reduction? Would I have that much tissue to remove? I have been told my breasts are very dense. Does that make a difference?
