What kind of insurance will cover rhinoplasty pertaining to broken nose?
Travel Guy asked:
My nose broke and now I have what the doctor told is called Saddle Nose. He said there is no rush, but I have some difficulty breathing and it is somewhat deformed. I have University of California health insurance, will this help?

How should I get this procedure done for the most inexpensive cost? Any insurance experts?

~~Your insurance should cover this and you can call their toll free number (back of card) to find out how much it would cost you (an estimate).
The cheapest way to do this is to use your insurance and make sure every provider and facility who treats you is a provider.
Any type of rhinoplasty will require the doctor to justify the medical necessity, most times this is considered cosmetic. He will send a report as well as the objective findings to your insurance companyy. Once he receives authorizationn to allow it, then you know you are covered.~~

rebreaking and straightening it would be cosmetic, so you need to consult the doctor and the insurance company.

You need to talk to whoever runs your health plan and ask them. No one here could possibly know.
