My nose has a bump on it which isn't preferred by me, although there is another complication. On the spot on my nose where there is bump, when pressure is applied to the sides or top, it hurts. I've been hit in the nose many times, by soccer balls or accidental punches but it continues to hurt even when light pressure is applied to the bump. I know that insurance doesn't pay for cosmetic procedures, but I am curious as to if they would because I think the cosmetic part has to do with the pain.
Answer: The case for insurance It is possible to submit the claim to the insurance company detailing your history of trauma, your deformity, and the associated tenderness. If this is submitted preoperatively, they may provide a preauthorization for coverage, or they may deny it. If denied, then you would have to pay for the surgery yourself.

Answer: Rhinoplasty - Painful bump on nose. A painful bump on the nose (or anywhere) should be evaluated to make sure there are no medical issues present (cyst, granuloma, congenital abnormality, etc.), and if it is found that it is medically related issue then medical insurance should help cover some portion or all of the expense, but that would be based on your insurance policy.I hope this helps.

Answer: Rhinoplasty - Painful bump on nose. Would insurance pay to fix? The only way to answer this question would be to consult with a rhinoplasty surgeon. I think it is unlikely that insurance would cover surgery for a painful bump if it is not otherwise causing any issues. However, this determination is up to your insurance carrier and will be decided by them after a consultation. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Health insurance and rhinoplasty Health insurance pays for procedures that are deemed medically necessary. Rhinoplasty may be covered to correct difficulty breathing secondary to trauma, skin cancer removal, or saddle nose deformities (often caused by septal perforations from prior surgery, intranasal medication use, or autoimmune disease). Congenital nasal deformities secondary to a cleft lip or other craniofacial syndrome are also covered. Removing a bump from the nasal bridge is considered cosmetic and unlikely to be covered.
