Do you think health insurance will cover a breast reduction surgery in my case??? Read please!?

Okay, I have very large breast and I am wanting to get reduction surgery. I am 21 years old and I currently wear a 36L...I have really bad back pain everyday, I have severe shoulder pain and markings from my bra straps, and being that my cup size is so huge but my band size in not my boobs pull down on my bra and it has caused open flesh sores on my back....ugh!! I am too young for all this! I have tried everything! I can never find a good fitting bra, and I do not have the money to keep buying them. I currently cannot afford the surgery...do you think health insurance will cover the procedure?? Btw...I do not have health insurance yet b/c I cannot afford it but if they will cover it I will try to find extra work to pay for it....I am literally in pain every single day....any suggestions?

Here is where you might run into a problem. If you have seen a doctor about your back problem, you could run into a problem buying insurance, as they could declare this a "pre-existing" condition and refuse coverage for it. If you have not seen a doctor about it, DON'T. Wait until you have the insurance before seeing a doctor or you may not be able to have it covered. If you can get the insurance through open enrollment at work, where they don't ask any medical questions, you might be okay.

If you have not discussed this with a doctor, here's what you do. Buy the insurance, wait for a while, month or so, see a doctor regarding the problem, have him recommend that you have a consult with a plastic surgeon, usually free, and then contact insurance company to see if they will cover it with referral from your medical doctor to cure your back problem. If all of that goes well, they will almost always cover this surgery or at least 80% of it, depends on your policy coverage.

hope this helps..

I agree with Eros... I also had a friend who had the same issue (less symptoms) and her surgery was covered by insurance. The doctor will pretty much have to tell the insurance company that the cost to not do it will be more then if it was done.. Sounds like a no-brainer in your case.

Good luck and I hope you find some relief soon!

i was a 32DDD/E, it took my 3 insurances over 5 years to find one that covered it 100%. i had one in october and i am very happy with the result.
good luck.

it might you are going to have to call around to insurance company's they will tell you im sorry about your situation hope all gets better
