Regence UMP Washington. 4 medical professionals recommend breast reduction for me. Yet, I don't fit the Schnur Sliding Scale?

Asked By:BettyBoo3 in Seattle, WA

I have three cervical herniated discs, C3-7. Years of conservative therapies; chiro, PT, massage, acupunct, office ergonomics, etc. I still have considerable pain daily. My PCP/Internist, Neuromuscular & Spinal Specialist/MD, PT, and DO all suggest and support breast reduction. My problem is large breasts with not allot of mass, along with my weight. Regence has denied my breast reduction. I hit all the the criteria EXCEPT Schnur scale. I need solid arguments for to disregard the Schnur scale.
