My wife says they will, but I have to have my Dr. prescribe me a few nasal sprays in order to "prove" that it's required.
My nose looks and feels fine, I just can't breathe through it.
Your dr does not have to prescribe nasal spray. The septum is the structure that divides your nose. A deviated septum means it's crooked. Nasal sprays don't change the structure of your nose.
Go see an ENT that is in network. Most of the time a deviated septum can be seen when the dr looks into your nose. However, the dr may need to do a ct scan to confirm it. Once he determines that your breathing is affected then he will be able to get with the insurance company to get the authorizations set up.
I had a deviated septum repaired a year or two ago. It took about 30 days from the fist visit to the ENT to the day surgery was performed.
Repairing a deviated septum does not change the look of your nose. It's all internal. My breathing was blocked about 70% on one side. I had great results with the surgery to repair the deviated septum. I highly recommend you go see an ENT.
Call your insurance company and ask. If the doctor requires you to have it done then they will usually cover it. Depending on your insurance you may have to pay coinsurance of a certain percentage of the procedure.
Yeah, not being able to breathe through your nose could be an issue.
If you've had the insurance long enough, or it's through your employer, and preexisting condition exclusions don't apply, they'll cover it.
Look over your policy and see. A deviated septum usually means nose job in the healthcare field, so make sure you're covered.
your insurence will most likely cover part of the surgery so
NO WORRIES....
