What is the process on getting approved for breast reduction surgery for Carefirst?

February 12, 2016
Asked By:captainmerrie in York, PA

I'm 26, 5'3", and 215 pounds, and my breast size is 34HH. I've have a 14-year long history of migraines, back pain, chiropractic visits, and neck injuries. I have Carefirst insurance, and am wondering what the approval process entails. Additionally, I'm not yet at my ideal weight, but my breasts inhibit my ability to exercise comfortably. At this weight, am I too heavy for surgery? I plan on losing more weight before surgery.. Any help?
