will my health insureance pay for rhinoplasty?

Answer 1

It depends on what your insurance covers. I've watched a lot of plastic surgery shows on television and any type of surgery that is not considered "life threatening" most likely isn't covered. However, if this is the result of an accident, it may be covered.

You should call your insurance company and ask them. That's the simplest thing to do! Good luck :).

Answer 2

Medical insurance may not cover the cost of a rhinoplasty or may not cover all the costs if the procedure is being done to help correct breathing problems. You will be responsible for all costs that your health plan does not cover. Before you have surgery, find out what your health plan is willing to cover, and get this information in writing. Financing can be arranged for rhinoplasty that is strictly cosmetic.

Answer 3

Not if it's cosmetic (meaning you just want your nose to look different).
But if it is medically necessary to have surgery done on your nose (meaning it was previously broken and now they are going to fix it so you can breathe out of it or some other medical reason) then they may cover some of the surgery.

Rhinoplasty surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Tour2india4health Consultants .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Tour2india4health Consultants is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
