Hi, looking for some help. I am a mother of 3 kids aged 3-7. My breast have never been particularly big but more so now after the kids and breast feeding all three. I reLly don’t need to wear a bra at all and as a result feel somewhat self conscious and would prefer not to show my breasts to my partner. Can you please advise if it would be possible to claim a breast enlargement through Medicare as it is really expensive in Adelaide.
Thanks

Hi. Unfortunately breast enlargement procedures aren’t covered by medicare. Private health funds also don’t cover this procedure. Sorry!

Breast enlargement as a surgery is viewed as purely cosmetic by Medicare and no rebate will be provided.

There is no Medicare item number for a breast enlargement under the circumstances you describe. The only item numbers that apply for breast implants through Medicare are either in the context of breast reconstruction after cancer or breast asymmetry.
