Does Tricare cover reduction mammoplasty due to potentially fatal gigantomastia?
It is possible insurance will cover the procedure if the physician can document that a reduction or mastectomy are necessary to improve the comfort of the patient. Gigantomastia however is not a life-threatening condition; it can be contributory to headaches and backaches, and in extreme cases ulcers, and while it is potentially painful, it is not potentially fatal. Treatment typically consists of ice therapy, physical therapy, controlled diet, and/or hormone or steroid treatments. While surgery is performed to alleviate symptoms, only a mastectomy can eliminate the condition completely.
