I have personally never had "MediCaid" approve a breast reduction. I hope the plastic surgeon informed you that approval, if any, could take months...

I don't believe you will receive prior approval. However, it's great that you were able to find a surgeon who accepts Medicaid for breast reduction reimbursement. Prior approval may not be possible, so I recommend contacting your local Medicaid office to gather more information.

Medicaid coverage for breast reduction surgery may vary, and the approval process duration is uncertain. Contacting the plastic surgeon's office is recommended for accurate information.
