Are functional Rhinoplasties covered by IL Medicaid -- specifically, an internal valve collapse caused by prior septoplasties?

Illinois Medicaid does cover functional rhinoplasty if appropriate documentation supports the procedure.  Midwest medical center in Galena, Il looks to be somewhat close to your location.  They can provide you with an appointment with their ENT facial plastic surgeon.  Make sure to bring copies of your previous medical records including operative report.  You will need a full evaluation by the surgeon to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment.Best wishes

Dear MassinoIN general, all functional rhinoplasty surgery is covered by health insurance. For example septoplasty, valve reconstruction, spreader grafts are all covered services. Best of Luck.

 Functional nasal surgery is usually covered a most medical insurance plans, once medical necessity has been documented. Cosmetic nasal surgery is not covered by any medical insurance and is considered a rhinoplasty. Always best to check your insurance booklet which will spell out coverages And exclusions.
