Breast Reduction denied by insurance

[spiritedcowgirl63 108]

Im a 34 DDD and want to get to a C. My insurance just denied me because not enough to remove. Anyone have ideas how to get this changed? I have back pain, headaches, divets in my shoulders.

Call them and ask for the written medical policy.

It will state what exactly you need to be approved

I had breast reduction done prior to WLS, I was a 42DD, but my surgeon told me he thought I was bigger than that. I was very fortunate in that my surgeon took pictures of my breasts (no face, of course) & provided medical reasoning to have the surgery. It included documenting shoulder indentation from bra straps, marks under breasts from bras, constant back pain, and the inability to work out comfortably due to their size. I was approved almost immediately.

Ironically, as I lost about 110 pounds, my breasts are SMALL now! I am a 34 B (yes . I call them my boy boobs now. Oh, the irony

Ask the insurance company for their policy on coverage, then try to appeal it within their allotted time frame. You never know.

Good luck!
