Multiple criteria: Each insurance company has specific criteria for coverage of different procedures, including breast reduction. You first need to check the specifics of your insurance plan to see if reduction is ever covered. Next, collect as much supporting documentation as possible. Third, make sure your weight is under control as this is the most common reason for denial. Last see a plastic surgeon for exam.

May becoverage enrag: You should see first a reputable plastic surgeon.Coverage of your surgery primarily depends on your insurance coverage in your policy.From your history it looks there is some medical reason for coverage as medical meccessity.But all depends upon your policy.

Perhaps: Every insurance plan is different but in general breast reduction is covered in women with substantially large breasts who have symptoms and have failed non-surgical treatment. The mention of 36dd breasts in the same paragraph with an abdominal apron suggests weight loss may be even more beneficial than a breast reduction.
