I have been thinking about getting some gynecological surgery done, but I’m worried about the cost. I have health insurance, but I’m not sure if it covers things like gyno surgery. Has anyone else had experience with this?

Insurance coverage for gynecomastia surgery, or “gyno surgery,” varies depending on a number of variables, such as the insurance policy, the cause for the procedure, and particular insurance company policies. In some cases, correction of gynecomastia is not eligible for insurance coverage.
The cost can be a worry, but many women have been there. Insurance coverage varies by plan, so check your provider’s website or call them directly. Your doctor can also be a great resource to understand what might be covered in your specific case. Remember, medically necessary surgery is more likely to be covered. Don’t be shy - it’s a common question! By checking with your insurance and doctor, you’ll be more prepared.
Hello, Donna. If you qualify, it can be covered, but you’ll need a doctor’s reference. A friend of mine used it once.
Yeah, usually Blue Cross Blue Shield doesn’t need pre-approval for this surgery, so it’s covered, even for small stuff. Just check with your local Blue Cross Blue Shield for your area to be sure. Oh, and remember, this is only for hospitals in their network, which might not have the best gyno surgeons compared to private practices.
