Possibly...: If you are having documented symptoms due to the weight of your breasts. See a plastic surgeon at a county hospital to get the process started. I can't guarantee that there will be coverage in your specific case, but medicaid has paid for this procedure. Good luck!

Possibly...: Yes, breast reduction surgery is potentially “covered” through Medicaid. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to find a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who still works with this organization, given the very low reimbursement and the bureaucratic challenges… Best wishes.

Yes: Yes they will pay for a breast reduction. There are many hoops to jump through, however. They will usually require documentation of chronic pain that is not responding to 6 months of physical therapy. You usually need to have a normal BMI, if you are overweight they will want you to lose weight. In addition, there is a weight requirement of how much breast tissue needs to be removed.
