Canadian medical coverage for gyno?

**Paullusion** · 06-02-2005, 02:37 PM

I've seen my doc about my gyno before and he was not helpful at all. Infact he said "I don't see any gynocomastia".

How can I get health canada to cover my plastic surgery bill without seeing my doc?

Or more imortantly can I choose when and where the procedure is done whilst still being covered by health care or do they set everything up? I want to go to a specific surgeon.

Your doc obviously is like mine, knows jack sh** when it comes to things like this!
Can you not explain to your doc that the gyno is REALLY effecting your way of life, can't function normally, etc.....then surely it can be done through the health department?
I think if they are paying then they will decide when and where? Canada is very diferent to here bro. Guys?

Personally i'd find another doc.
Or ask to be referred to a specialist.
Tell the doctor you have terrible pain behind your nipple.

thanks for the replys. does anyone know if you can get the plastic surgeon to get OHIP to cover it. he's a doc. why shoudl't he be able to make the call that it's from puberty and it's affecting me hardcore.

If you have ANY traces of AAS in your system, they will absolutly not cover anything. Try to get a referral to a specialist like YYZ said. Its your best bet.
