Don't hamsters have like 8 nipples? You could live with only 7, don'tcha think?

They can't transplant them. Best they can do is build you a new one from some other skin or try to repair what you did. Insurance may or may not cover the repair. Most policies only cover medically necessary, so you are probably out of luck. UNLESS you can get it looked at now while it is still injured. Then they might be able to do something. But not a transplant.

Most health insurance companies will not cover cosmetic surgery or complications that result from it.
If you transplant ended up becoming a medical issue then possibly.
You would have to talk to them first to find out what their guide lines were. If it is a medical issue then I would get a report from the medical doctor first and have that in hand when I discussed the problem with the insurance company.

# What are the costs of donating bone marrow? Persons willing to donate bone marrow or PBSCs must have a sample of blood drawn to determine their HLA type. This blood test usually costs $65 to $96. The donor may be asked to pay for this blood test, or the donor center may cover part of the cost. Community groups and other organizations may also provide financial assistance. Once a donor is identified as a match for a patient, all of the costs pertaining to the retrieval of bone marrow or PBSCs is covered by the patient or the patient’s medical insurance. A woman can donate her baby’s umbilical cord blood to public cord blood banks at no charge. However, commercial blood banks do charge varying fees to store umbilical cord blood for the private use of the patient or his or her family.

I'm with Smelly ... it's just vanity that makes you want a nipple transplant. Personally, I like a hemster with scars ... it lends that little bot of mystery to him.

Dried Play-doh and a cheap skin graft will do fine. Available at any finer retail location or Build a Bear or Plotz! location

Probably not. Unless you can find a doctor who will give the procedure some name or description that will pass the insurance company's screener who is usually a doctor them- selves. But don't bet on it. Sorry.
