Most insurance companies do not cover abdominoplasty as it is an elective procedure. For patients with limited funds, one option is to contact a local teaching hospital that has a plastic surgery training program. Often these programs have clinics, run by the residents and supervised by the attendings. Patients can sometimes have elective surgery done through these clinics for a lower fee than a private plastic surgeon would charge. Hope this helps.
