Answer: Will my insurance (selecthealth) cover the cost of a breast reduction? I am sorry to hear about the problems your disproportionately large breasts have caused. Breast reduction tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.Best to check directly with your insurance company to see whether breast reduction surgery is a “covered” benefit with your specific policy. Then, given that every insurance company has different “criteria”, best to identify exactly what your specific insurance company considers criteria for approval. Generally, the more documentation you have (for example, from your primary care doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor etc.) the better when it comes to obtaining insurance “authorization” for the procedure.

Answer: I'm 5'5'' and 170lbs with 38HH breasts. Will my insurance (selecthealth) cover the cost of a breast reduction?? Thank you for your questions. Based on your narrative you appear to be a good candidate for a breast reduction. If you have insurance, the first step would be to check with your carrier to see if breast reduction surgery is covered by your plan. If it is, then see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation and discussion of breast reductions. They can submit paperwork on your behalf to see if you are approved. If you have paperwork that demonstrates your bad back, neck pain, and rashes from your family doctor, gynecologist, or chiropractor this would help in your claim. Hope this helps.

Answer: Breast Reduction and Insurance This is a great question, but one specifically for your insurance company. There are a lot of insurances out there that will cover breast reduction surgery. I would contact them directly and then find a board certified plastic surgeon that accepts your insurance to proceed. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Scarless breast reduction Let's say you've gone through the whole process and your insurance will either not cover or only very partially cover the operation. Here's an alternative. Find a local BCPS Who specializes in the liposuction only operation. Even though it's far from perfect it may be a reasonable alternative and compromise for you and certainly much less expensive if you have to pay yourself.
