Insurance Coverage for Septoplasty

July 10, 2009
Asked By:Loveceleb2 in new york

I'm 17, and my nose was broken when I got hit in the face several times during childhood. It resulted in deviation of septum, fractured nose, and breathing problems. I have Americhoice by United Healthcare Insurance without out of network benefits. Rhinoplasty wouldn't be covered, but what about the Septoplasty? Does anyone know a doctor who could perform both Rhinoplasty and have the Septoplasty covered?  In line with this, would it be a good idea to have two surgeons perform Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty (covered) separately, or just one ENT surgeon? Some mentioned it would be affordable.
