How do I get insurance approval for a breast reduction? I don't want to wait 6 months while I do physical therapy.

Asked By:sbbradley in Waukesha, WI

I am 18 years old and am a 30 DDDD bra size. I am 5' 1'' and weigh 130 pounds. I am frustrated that I need to go through 6 months of physical therapy. I am in college and I don't have a car on campus so I can't do the physical therapy. Is there a way to get around that I need the surgery. when I was 14 I had surgery to remove a tumor from my right breast. I have severe back pain and lately I have been getting depressed because I can't exercise.
