I got implants 20 years ago and my back is sore because my breasts got bigger. Does MSP cover it in British Columbia?

Question

I got breast plants in when I was 23 and now I am 41 with bavk pain. will msp cover it to remove the implants?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Typically removal of breast implants that were placed for cosmetic reasons is not covered by insurance.  As plans may vary it is always best to contact your carrier for the details of your particular plan.

Dallas Buchanan, MD · Answer

Thank you for your questions. I do not know the specifics of your plan but I can speak for the majority of plans. If the implants were placed for cosmetic reasons (not reconstruction for cancer or birth defects), then insurances do not cover any subsequent procedures in relation to those implants. You can always call your plan and ask for specifics. Hope this helps!
