Will Medicaid cover a deformity? (Photo)

October 31, 2015
Asked By:InsecureJMW2014 in Virginia Beach, VA

clearly I have the Poland disease which is considered a birth defect. my left breast is way larger than my right OBVIOUSLY. I'm not understanding why this isn't considered an emergency because it's hard to find clothes and I'm tired of stuffing my bra with tissue and not feeling comfortable. can't we label this as something else because I definitely don't have the money to get it fixed
