Well I think they do but you have to have documentation. I had cigna about 3 years ago and tried to get a breast reduction... I was a size 42 J (now a 44K) and they denied me because of my weight. But now I have united health care and I hear it is pretty hard to get coverage but I'm in the process of losing weight, I'm gonna start physical therapy after I lose about 30-50lbs and then maybe see a chiropractor or something. Me and my doctor are pretty cool so I'm sure we can word it in a way where they accept it. Also, I went to see a plastic surgeon about 2 years ago and the lady at the front desk told me some things to do in order to get approved (the things i listed above) so I didnt get to see the surgeon and she didnt charge me but she really helped me out so now I'm following my little check list.

How do you get blue cross blue shield to pay for a breast reduction?

If breast reduction is a specific exclusion on your particular plan you probably cannot get them to pay for it. If it is not a specific exclusion on your plan you will need a physician to write a letter to BCBS and get an authorization to have the procedure. If your need for the reduction is not medical it will not be covered. You must contact BCBS and ask if your plan pays for breast reduction for specific medical reasons.
