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.

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.
