Will insurance cover the cost of a rhinoplasty?
Although all insurance companies are different, most will provide coverage for patients who have a functional breathing problem or a severe nasal deformity resulting from trauma or medical condition. Insurance companies will not cover a rhinoplasty performed for cosmetic purposes. Many patients with breathing problems also elect to undergo a cosmetic procedure at the same time. By doing so, insurance will assist in paying for that portion of the procedure, operating room costs and anesthesia fees that is associated with correction of the function of the nose.
