I sometimes have difficulty breathing but it is not life threatening at all. I am looking to have my doctor refer me to a plastic surgeon to do a Rhinoplasty. I currently have the best insurance Cigna has to offer, and was wondering if my current symptoms would be good enough to qualify for insurance coverage.
Answer: Insurance coverage Insurance generally covers procedures that are to improve function and your health, but not those that are just for aesthetic purposes. Your septoplasty may be covered because it is to improve your breathing function.

Answer: Insurance Coverage for Rhinoplasty Insurance will cover for rhinoplasty if an examination documents that your nasal breathing is impaired and despite the use of nasal sprays and medications like anti histamines there is no relief.

Answer: Insurance covers what is medically necessary, not cosmetic A rhinoplasty is not performed for breathing problems out of the nose. This is called a septoplasty. Sometimes turbinates can be trimmed and adjusted at the same time to improve airflow dynamics through the nose. A rhinoplasty is performed for cosmetic purposes and is not billed to an insurance company. Any cosmetic change in shape to the nose is paid for by the patient. Any medically related breathing problems could be covered by medical insurance.
