Rhinoplasty, more commonly known as a nose job, can be done for cosmetic reasons or to correct a medical issue. So, the big question is: Does insurance cover a nose job?
The answer to that question depends on the reason for the surgery. If you want to change the appearance of your nose, it’s unlikely that your insurance will cover the costs.

In this article, we’ll explore when insurance covers rhinoplasty, the difference between cosmetic and functional procedures, and other ways to pay for a nose job if your insurance won’t cover it.
