Nose Reconstruction Insurance for Nasal Trauma

By Dr. Mark Hamilton

Question:
My nose has been changed because of a previous sports injury. It is twisted, has a hump and I have trouble breathing throught it. Will insurance help cover this?

Answer:
With summer and increased outdoor activities, nasal trauma is more common. Nasal fractures can lead to problems breathing and deformities of the outside of the nose. Open reduction of nasal and septal fractures can correct both of these.

Most insurance plans do cover correction of nasal and septal fractures. After your consult with Dr. Hamilton, our office will call your insurance company to verify coverage and review your benefits.
