Gyno and insurance

confuzed_guy2000 · May 26, 2008

Anyone been able to get your insurance to pick up the tab for your gyno surgery? If so, you got any pointers on what to say/do? Thanks in advance.

Gyno is considered cosmectic, unless it is cancerous.

Yeah, I understand it is considered "aesthetic" but I think I remember a few posts that said they got their insurance to flip the bill. Just thought I'd look into it before I pay out of pocket

I don't know how bad you have it, but I would first consider some alternatives. Teslac , Letro have worked for me, also consider how much bodyfat you are carrying. It is not an uncommon condition even without AAS, older men are prone to this as they age.

Tried the Letro, puts it in check but comes right back. As far as the body fat, that's kinda the problem. I'm dieting down and it makes it more and more noticeable. I am upper 30ish and I'm guessing the mild cycle I just completed aggravated it a tad - damn fina!

My doctor is a busy body... Doesn't "know" about the AAS but he wants to work up my blood

I'm guessing he suspects - he even hinted about it.

I've known a few people to have had gyno surgery where it was covered by insurance. I even had mine looked at because it was fairly tender and painful at one time and it too was going to be covered. Now this was from a typical general surgeon. If your looking for a plastics to do it then it might be a different story i don't know.
