 Q&A | General Discussions : Insurance for Breast reduction

Name: Tanya Title of Question: Insurance for Breast reduction
Question: I've been getting some back aches of late and I suspect it could be due to my large breasts. The thing is that I've never had a problem during high school and it is only now that I am (I am 26 years old). I think that perhaps I was more physically active with sports when I was younger and haven't been in the last couple of years. If I get a breast reduction what do I need to get it covered by insurance?

Answer: it depends on your insurance company. Most require a letter from your doctor and plastic surgeon stipulating the medical need behind the procedure.

Answer: you also need a pretty comprehensive letter of your own stating why you should be covered by insurance...plus the support letters from the doctors.

Name: julia | Date: August 9, 2005 |
Answer: Im 27 years old, 6' tall and I weigh about 230. I have a breast reduction scheduled August 1st. Im scared but excited. I have had big boobs all my life and it didnt change if I lost weight or not. I come from a family of big boobed women. So anyways, Im from Michigan and I am going to the University of Michigan Plastic Surgery-Dr. Brown. Anybody had him? Ive heard that when you get the procedure, you sometimes loose some weight. True? Anybody have any experiences to share with me????
