There are many capable and good plastic surgeons in your area, California? who can help with repair of cleft nose problems.

May want to start with a major center like UCLA, UCS that can be of help with your Medi-cal.

I can't answer about the health plan. Normally, reconstructive surgeries are provided. The bone used is not necessarily the hip bone. Contact a surgeon who works a surgeon who works uses us that will surely solve your doubts
