Breast Reduction covered by insurance?

Question

Has anyone ever had a breast reduction covered by insurance? What insurance did you have? Was there a requirement to how much weight was removed for it to be considered medical instead of cosmetic? Did you have to have recommendations from a chiropractor or doctor? Could you have other procedures done along with the reduction if you paid for those yourself?

Thanks for your responses!

Answer 1

Breast reductions can and DO get covered by insurance.  My company covered it 100%.

The requirements differ from company to company.  One might ask you to show proof throughout the years of back pain, or want you to see a chiro first, or want you to lose weight first.

My company approved it without all that nonsense.  Took about 6 weeks to approve it.

They DID have a minimum requirement of 600 grams to be taken out total.  I ended up getting over 2000 grams (about 4.8 pounds) taken out!

You can get other procedures done at the same time as the reduction, I know several that got a tummy tuck along with it.
