When Can Health Insurance Cover Rhinoplasty Surgery?
While many plastic surgeries are not covered by insurance plans, your rhinoplasty surgery may be partially or fully covered depending on your circumstances.
If your rhinoplasty is a purely cosmetic surgery, most insurance companies will most likely not cover the costs. Cosmetic rhinoplasties are performed for aesthetic purposes rather than functional impairment, so they’re not necessary in restoring health.
However, if you are experiencing health issues that are a medical necessity, such as sinus problems, deviated septum causing breathing difficulties, or birth defects, your surgical procedure may be deemed medically necessary. In these cases, your nasal surgery may be partially or fully covered by your insurance provider.
If you believe your rhinoplasty surgery is more than cosmetic, you can discuss this possibility with your insurance. You can also discuss this with your surgeon at your consultation.
