Is It Possible to Get Peri Areolar Reduction Semi Covered Through Insurance?

Thank you for the question. Although tuberous breast is described as a form of breast deformity it is usually not covered by insurance companies. Generally speaking, insurance companies will look for medical necessity to approve a procedure. This could be in the form of back problems, mobility problems, recurrent infections, or breathing difficulty. " Emotionally crippling" is not one of their criteria. 

Your surgeon can submit a request to your insurance company and see the outcome. If it is denied, they will advise you in writing for the denial reason.

 

I believe you should be told the truth. There is 98% chance of a non covered decision for areolar reduction. We would be happy to operate but you have a responsibility of a fee. Yes try a teaching plastic surgery residency for more in expensive surgery.
