Will a Septo-Rhinoplasty Be Covered by Insurance?

mrsfredweasley
I have a deviated Septum, and after consulting an ENT found out that Septoplasty is the best option for me. However, I also have a bump on my nose that I would like to remove and I was wondering if my insurance would cover the procedure if my surgeon shaved off the bump while he's fixing my deviated septum. If I write down on the insurance information that the PRIMARY reason for the surgery is for medical reasons, would my surgeon be able to perform both procedures at once?
