If you’re considering getting a nose job, you may be wondering whether it will be covered by insurance. The answer is yes, but only under certain circumstances.
According to a recent study, nose job procedures can be covered by insurance if they are deemed medically necessary. This can include cases where the nasal septum is deviated, or where there are breathing difficulties due to the shape of the nose.
However, if you’re getting a nose job purely for cosmetic reasons, insurance will not cover it. In this case, you will need to pay out of pocket for the procedure.
Some insurance plans, such as those offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield, may cover certain types of cosmetic surgery, such as breast augmentation or facial rejuvenation procedures. However, these procedures must be deemed medically necessary, and a doctor’s note may be required.
It’s worth noting that even if insurance does cover your nose job, you may still be responsible for paying a copayment or deductible. It’s always best to check with your insurance provider to determine what costs you will be responsible for.
