Does insurance, medicare and medicaid, pay for Septoplasty?

Had this over a year ago and honestly it's the best decision of my life, breathing is vastly improved! Fair warning though, the first few weeks will be uncomfortable, but I probably had more issue with the post anesthesia nausea that the actual soreness.

@mikebuck421 Don't let it freak you out. I refrained from doing ANY research or watching video's before my surgery so I wouldn't freak out. I had a deviated septum repaired and polyps removed 3 weeks ago tomorrow and my nose is clearer than EVER and I can smell! I couldnt breathe or smell since i was 6 and I'm 19 now.

just found out i have a deviated septim and need surgery... not looking forward to this.

My ENT specialist recommended a septoplasty to improve/normalize my breathing. Does insurance cover some/all the expenses or do I have to pay for this procedure? Thank you for any advice!

doctor I had a deviated septum operation 6 years ago, the doctor told me my problem was caused by force trauma that left the side of septum pushed to the other side ( <----- like that, more like a letter D, but anyways from what I see in the video this persons was cut, could it also be re- broken by the doctor and straighten out?..

@NoseMD I am getting my turbonites, Adenoids and Septum fixed up. Will there be any hospital time required?

general anesthesia
straightening deviated nasal septum should improve breathing significantly. This procedure after trauma has limitations depending on how severely the nose was twisted. Hopefully with proper evaluation and treatment you should improve on both sides. BTS MD
There is no medical treatment for a deviated nasal septum. Non-surgical treatments could include, breath rite strips, nasal cones, saline spray, saline irrigations, sudafed, and nasal steroid sprays. These may offer some temporary relief. If it is deemed you are symptomatic or have problems from a deviated nasal septum then the only effective treatment is surgery.
Hi, doctor :) When you close the defect in the nasal mucosa, do you stitch through the septum in order to avoid dead space or do you use packing within the nostrils?
@janeyanna GOOD QUESTION. I rarely pack. I rarely use splints anymore. I do us the stapler or quilting dissolvable sutures back and forth on correcting deviated nasal septum. The suturing/staplest closes dead space and prevents a hematoma. Dr Schaeffer
hi
i'm getting my septoplasty done. doctor said its better if my parents fly in to my city to take care of me post surgery, is that necessary. will i be handicapped for few days after the surgery?
@musicdelife I always recommend there should be somebody with you the first 24 hrs. I see the patients the following day and patients can not drive for the first 24 hrs after surgery. Also, we recommend no heavy lifting or straining for 2 weeks after surgery (no aerobics, dancing, weight lifting,).
Dr. Schaeffer
