Q: I have chronic back pain in my lower back

I mean it litterally wakes me up at night.  My chest is very heavy and i believe there lies my issue., Im wondering how i can get my insurance to pay for the surgery as im a single mom of 4 and can't afford a breast reduction.  Does anyone have any idea how i can go about getting this done with insurance?

I have read that when heavy breasts are proven cause of pain,neck,shoulders,back etc that the insurance will pick up the reduction but not for a lift..Talk with your doctor about this and see if he will submit need to your insurance company..I would think with the doctors recommendation and if coded right it should work..I don't know if you have something to help bind you at night to keep breasts up but it might help..Best of luck
