I know friends that have had breast reductions because of pain and it was covered under OHIP but since the government implented fees & cut back medical coverage I wouldn't be surprised if it was no longer covered.
I am currently contemplating seeing my doctor about this as well. | |

Did you check the OHIP website? It may say on there, or give you a contact number for how to find out. I hope that they cover it. | |

What services does OHIP cover?
OHIP covers a wide range of health services; however, it does not pay for services that are not medically necessary, such as cosmetic surgery. A brief description of insured services follows below. For more details, please contact your nearest ministry office. | |

I have a friend that just went for a consulatation with a surgeon. What they do is submit a report to OHIP, and then OHIP decided if the surgery is covered.
Good luck.

Yes OHIP pays for this....I had a consultation done about 10 years ago due to discomfort and I have a couple friends who did it and it is covered. | |
