Is a caudal septoplasty covered by insurance? (photos)

The caudal septum can also block breathing. However, if you have already had a standard septoplasty, this procedure is more difficult since the septum and its support may have already been weakened. You should make sure you see an expert in septoplasty. As for insurance, of course that also depends on if your surgeon participates in your insurance plan

It looks like your left nostril is blocked. If so, I wouldn't go with a surgeon who wouldn't help you with the insurance as they are not looking out for your interests. If it is 100% cosmetic then insurance won't and shouldn't help pay for the procedure. If your left nostril is blocked, go with an office that will bill your insurance for the first visit. Should they charge a cosmetic fee, you can probably assume that they will not bill insurance or bill you cosmetically and the insurance for the functional part. We check your insurance and let you know your benefits before your visit. Our practice only operates on the nose. Make some calls and do you due diligence. I can see your other posts and how much this concerns you.

Hi,If this septal deviation is causing you problems breathing, your insurance should cover it. However, some may see this as cosmetic, depends on the type of insurance you have.Best,Dr.S.
