Re: Likelyhood of insurance covering breast reduction From: Anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 7 Aug 2003 10:06:00 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Lynn: "Menstrual Cycle" Previous message: Alicia Lapidus M.D.: "Re: vaginal swelling and reddness" In reply to: Abby: "Re: Likelyhood of insurance covering breast reduction" Abby, I agree about the breast reconstruction usually being covered, I think that is one of the few exceptions. I did say that the surgery could be covered for a medical reason, I used a back problem stemming from breast size as an example (although I didn't expand as much in my original post). You are right, she needs to check her insurance policy and call her insurer but Audrina does not seem to have a medical reason to have the reduction although she may not have told us everything. Peace. >> >>Audrina, >> >>Not a doc but I am sorry to tell you that unless the surgery is for a >>medical reason insurance isn't going to cover it. A medical reason >>would be something like a back problem. It is considered cosmetic >>surgery. I'm sorry you are going through this. > >>Anonymous, you are not entirely correct. Audrina needs to check her own insurance policy and confer with her doctor. Some policies will cover "cosmetic" type procedures where there is a medically indicated reason. By the way, nearly all policies cover breast re-construction for breast cancer patients. > >-- >abby > Next message: Lynn: "Menstrual Cycle" Previous message: Alicia Lapidus M.D.: "Re: vaginal swelling and reddness" In reply to: Abby: "Re: Likelyhood of insurance covering breast reduction"
