Comment posted How can I get my insurance to pay for a boob job? by Angie.

I’d start by talking with your doctor. Let him/her determine the extent that they are causing your back problems. With your doctor’s support for this, the insurance company should be more willing to pay. Especially if it can be proven that you face substantial future insurance claims as a result of your back problems.

  • Your insurance can pay for it if it is causing health issues. Mine paid 100% of it ($8,000). But I did not have an implant put in.

    Breasts look good after a reduction so I really don’t think they should need an implant IMO.

    You will have to find out from your insurance company if they have any requirements (weight loss, chiropractic appointments, etc). Mine approved mine without any requirements thank goodness.

  • You can get coverage for the reduction, if you meet the insurer’s medical criteria and get prior approval.

    But there is absolutely no way that you’ll get coverage for implants afterwards. The *only* way that implants are ever covered under a medical insurance policy is for post-mastectomy breast cancer patients. Period.

    If you want implants after your reduction (which sounds a little insane to me, honestly), you’ll have to pay for them at your own expense.

  • If it is causing you severe back pain, that is a valid medical condition.

    You would have to get a medical doctor (NOT a plastic surgeon) to say that it’s medically necessary for you to have a reduction.

    It is something that many insurance companies do pay for because it’s considered an abnormality and preventive care.

    They won’t pay for the implant, just so you know, but you may be able to cut a deal with the plastic surgeon on that aspect of it.

  • Well, I don’t think you’ll get implants, but usually if you talk to your doctor, and the back pain is severe enough, it can get covered.

    Talk to the doctor. Then call the insurance company.
