Is a breast enlargement reimbursed?

In most cases, breast enlargements are not covered by health insurance because they are generally considered a cosmetic procedure. Cosmetic procedures are usually not covered by basic insurance, unless there is a medical necessity.

In some exceptional cases, breast enlargement may be reimbursed if there is a medical reason for it. For example, if someone has congenital defects or needs breast reconstruction after a mastectomy due to breast cancer. In such cases, the health insurer may (partially) reimburse the costs.

It is important to contact your health insurance provider and specifically inquire about their policies regarding breast augmentation. They can provide you with specific information about fees and any applicable requirements.
