[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teenage girl really wants/needs breast reduction surgery.  She is a 32G and[b] it interferes with sports, makes it very hard to find clothes, and results in bathing suits looking too revealing[/b] no matter how hard we try to find one that fits correctly.

We found a surgeon we liked but they just notified us they no longer take our insurance - BCBS federal.  I have researched the requirements for coverage and it would be covered under their policy under the circumstances.

Does anyone have a surgeon they recommend?

Thank you![/quote]

That is not medically required surgery. No health insurance will cover that. It's a cosmatic surgury. [/quote]

That's not necessarily true.  [/quote]

We went to Dr Friedman’s office and very much liked one of the surgeons there, but they no longer take our insurance.

It's not cosmetic if its causing pain/back issues/etc. OP said she did the research- so no reason not to believe her.[/quote]

No, but a word of caution -- "doing the research" isn't the same thing as "pre-authorization." So she probably wants to confirm it will be covered rather than just "doing the research" by reading the policy.

OP, you want to go to Dr. Roger Freidman in Rockville. Best plastic surgeon in the DC area. [/quote][/quote]
