Does florida medicaid cover plastic surgery?


wanting to know what plastic surgeons are covered by florida medicaid and which procedure is covered by medicaid such as breast reduction.

99% of all plastic surgery is not covered by any medical plan. Unless there is some form of serious health risk, it wouldn't be covered. I couldn't see anyone covering a breast reduction as it's not life threatening and would be considered purely cosmetic.

no it is not covered by it unless it is a health problem and big breat are not

"Reduction mammoplasty, procedure code 19318, requires prior authorization from the Medicaid medical consultant when performed outside of the hospital setting"

on page 2-8

That would mean that there ARE instances that it would be covered. Obviously, it would need to be deemed "medically necessary".

For the answerer above, breast reduction surgery is not always just cosmetic. Obviously both previous ones are men.

As a reduction is medically necessary it should be able to be covered.
