I'm NOT an insurance expert, and insurance coverage varies from one plan to another, but my first thought would be that you have to start a dialog with your primary care physician about this; the focus should be that it's a HEALTH related issue rather than a cosmetic issue. So you have to have your PCP begin documenting how this is adversly affecting your health, then hopefully you'll get a referral to a plastic surgeon and they usually take up the pre-authorization issue with your insurance.
I know someone who badly needed breast reduction due to very large breasts which were causing back aches and posture problems, and that's how the process went for her. Her insurance covered everything but the process took about a year.
Hope this helps,
