Welcome to Gaia! ::

That's a tough question to answer... I'd talk to your doctor and surgeon about how they can go about coding the procedure, and have them communicate with your insurance company. In general, almost all SRS of any kind will not be covered by insurance at all; however, if your doctor and surgeon could communicate that it's for medical reasons and essential, you may have a chance.

Good luck, though don't keep your hopes up; US insurance companies are s**t, and will find any way to get out of paying for anything that they can. My roommate, who is DDD/E, can't get it covered by her insurance company, and it's not for TS purposes that she'd get a reduction.

Do you have anything about GID on your medical records yet? If not, and you want surgery before anything else, do NOT bring it up. From what I've heard, if insurance companies get a sniff of that, you're doomed. It wouldn't hurt to do a little research into the subject of breast reductions and which insurance companies have covered in them in the past.

I was in a similar situation, though I'm in the UK. I could have had a breast reduction on the NHS, though as it happened I had surgery privately because I couldn't stand the waiting time (and may not have had my first choice of surgeon). It seems reasonable to me that if you heavily exaggerate the symptoms your breasts give you - eg, that you can't walk far/do lifting/etc without back pain, and get a doctor or two behind you, you may have a chance.

I feel abit like the only one who's had just a reduction so far o.0 answering reduction-related questions...

well like I said in another thread, the reduction only goes 1->2 sizes down usually, beause its a REDUCTION and just supposed to make it so your breasts are in proportion with your body.... which for me was a D [!!!] somehow.... I have no idea if you can talk them into taking it all off and calling it a reduction surgery

In Canada reduction surgery is covered by ohip if its effecting your health [back pain, depression, unable to run or lift things]
