Is breast reduction covered under my health insurance? Do I get any other breast reduction coverage? _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

I would expect that this would depend on the reason for the reduction - is it necessary for medical reasons, or is this for cosmetic purposes? _________________ Get free insurance quotes or Purchase auto Insurance online in minutes.

I'm not thinking of a reduction following any medical advice. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

This would then be an elective surgery and most likely not covered. You need to check with your insurance company. _________________ Can I say I’m working if I stare blankly at my computer all day?

Breast reduction surgery is commonly covered if a physician states that it would help alleviate existing medical conditions such as back or neck strains (especially if the insurer is paying for other treatments as a result). If simply for cosmetic reasons, or to be able to buy smaller size clothing, it will not be covered, as others have posted. _________________ California-licensed Property & Casualty Broker-Agent and Life & Health Agent.
