∙ 15y agoInsurance policies in the US do not cover cosmetic surgery unless it falls under the heading of reconstruction, as the result of trauma, a mastectomy, etc., or is required to treat another non-cosmetic ailment. Insurance coverage of Reconstructive breast surgery post mastectomy is required by law in some states (California for one), and is an option in others. If the size of the breasts is large enough to cause or exacerbate spinal issues acutely, insurance might cover reduction, but this is a very rare circumstance. SO the answer in specific is, almost never and not without a fight.

∙ 13y agoSome insurance companies do cover breast reduction surgery. You have to contact your insurance provider and ask for details or if you go to your family doctor/chiropractor they can let you know your options and write you referrals for the insurance company. I had reduction surgery and my insurance (Blue Sheild PPO) covered all of the costs for the reduction, both my chiropractor and surgeon wrote letters of recommendation along with pictures to back up their reasoning. I would contact your provider or doctor and go from there.
