Hello and thank you for your question. In general,
many insurance policies cover a septoplasty, turbinoplasty, etc.  that will correct structural issues only. I
suggest contacting your insurance provider and reviewing your policy. I hope
this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Septoplasty is typically considered a medically necessary procedure and is therefore covered by insurance. For septoplasty surgery we accept most major insurance companies and we are a preferred provider for most major insurance companies in Seattle & Bellevue. We can help you find out the specifics of your insurance coverage as long as we have can have a copy of both sides of your insurance card.  Your insurance carrier will not cover any costs associated with cosmetic enhancements made to improve the appearance of your nose. You are responsible for all fees associated with the cosmetic component of the procedure and this is the portion of the fee that is collected up-front.

Dear KseeInsurance generally covers any breathing difficulty, which may include revision septal surgery. Insurance covers functional problems and breathing through your nose is considered a normal necessary function.
