Breast Reduction

Hi all
I had lumpectomy in 2007 and now my breasts are lopsided. does anyone know if i can have the larger breast reduced using Medicare (medical) and i have HCF private health insurance. The difference is noticeable to me. 
thanks

    A lift is not covered by Medicare. ..but a reduction is. So the referral needs to be for reduction as it is interfering with posture etc (and it will look better of course...as they lift and reduce )
