Gynecomastia: The surgical treatment of idiopathic gynecomastia is not considered a medically necessary procedure by most insurance companies. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon to learn about financial and treatment options.

Pretty high: You never know if the insurance company is going to cover a procedure unless you try. Have your doctor write a prior approval letter to your insurance company.

Gynecomastia: This is not a covered benefit in many policies. If it is truly idiopathic then it typically will not be covered.
