Answer: Breast Reduction Candidate Candidates for #BreastReduction surgery are women who wish to have smaller #breasts to achieve a more proportional appearance or to alleviate physical discomfort. Breast reduction can correct symptoms from excessively #largeheavybreasts that may cause the inability to do certain exercises, or create back, shoulder and neck pain, poor posture, bra-strap shoulder indentations and chafing or rashes under the breasts. Women experiencing these discomforts may benefit from Breast Reduction, also called #ReductionMammoplasty. In general when the excessive #breast size causes functional problems, insurance will generally pay for the operation if more than 400 – 500 grams are removed from each breast dependent on your individual i company requirements. However, insurance criteria are becoming more and more restrictive. Pre-authorization by an insurance company is required prior to surgery, and the process takes approximately one month. Each insurance policy has different guidelines and exclusions. Although, we do not accept insurance, our staff will assist patients in obtaining a pre-authorization so they may attempt to be reimbursed for their out of pocket expenses.

Answer: I would like to know if I would be a good candidate for my insurance to cover a reduction surgery? It is very possible that insurance will cover your surgery, If it is a covered benefit. The best thing is to call your insurance company and find out, then if you need a referral, ask your primary care physician to refer you to a Board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon will do an exam and determine how much breast tissue needs to be resected, and document your medical issues, such as back and neck pain, grooves in your shoulders, and skin irritation, and send it off for approval. That's really the only way to find out for sure.

Answer: Will insurance cover my breast reduction? It is possible that insurance will cover your breast reduction. If you are enrolled in an HMO you should see your primary care physician and he/she can refer you to a Board certified plastic surgeon. If you belong to a PPO call your insurance company and check to see if it's a covered benefit and then ask for a referral to participating physician.Some surgeons may not participate in your insurance but would be happy to courtesy bill and reimburse you the insurance payment after surgery but they will ask for payment upfront. At your consultation the physician will document your medical issues, take photos and submit a letter to your insurance company for approval. I wish you the best of luck.
