Worth a try: I have had medicare patients with breast reductions covered by their insurance. I have no experience with medicaid. Coverage depends on the degree of symptoms caused by the heavy breasts and how the insurer is feeling on the day that the claim is submitted. If you feel that your back pain is caused by the weight of your breasts, an attempt to obtain coverage is worth a try.
