   Most health insurance will only pay for breast reductions if it is medically necessary.  Medically necessary is a subjective term.
   
   For example if you want breast reduction surgery for cosmetic reasons it would not be covered.
   
   If on the other hand if you were 5' 2" and needed reduction surgery to ease back issues posture and pain it may be medically necessary.
   
   You should check with you doctor, read your Evidence of Coverage and check with the insurance company.
