How to get INS. to pay for gyno surgery?

**vettewreck** · 01-21-2005, 01:28 PM

I have had gyno since I was 14. Ive done several cycles of test and dbol and it never got any worse. Now, Ive been off gear for over a year now and it seems to be getting worse. I went to a plastic surgeon and he told me that its very unlikely for ins. to pay for it. How can I get them to pay for it? Go to my family Dr and tell him that my nips are starting to become sore and they hurt? (they dont) And ask him to refer me to a plastic sugeon?? What can I do?

if he is your family doc he should have noticed that you had gyno when you were 14 (assuming it is the same doc) or it should be documented. if not you will most likely have to pay for it yourself or move to canada

not the same Dr. I think the "pain" reason is my only real shot.

It will not be covered unless you have a growth ie: lump or cancer. It is considered cosmetic therefore elective surgery, there is no way around it. The pain complaint will need to be backed up by an illness as stated above.
