    Otoplasty is a surgical cosmetic procedure. Health insurance covers treatment that is considered medically necessary.

    Otoplasty is a procedure designed to alter the shape and appearance of your ears. Some people think their ears are too big and will attempt to hide their ears by growing their hair longer or wearing head gear.

    Otoplasty would not be covered by health insurance.

    Health insurance may cover otoplasty, although in most cases it does not. If it is considered cosmetic (and usually it is), it may not be paid or covered under a typical policy.

    However, all plans are different and you should always check with your carrier and inquire about benefits. If it is not for cosmetic reasons, that will help your chances.
