Insurance coverage for lipoma removal
In our experience, it is very uncommon to have insurance cover for the removal of a lipoma. However, this depends entirely on your personal insurance plan. Many of the insurance plans and we have worked with, consider this to be a benign condition and an elective procedure. They use this as their rationalization to not compensate for this surgery.

Insurance coverage for lipoma removal varies
Hello,
Trying to figure what an insurance company will cover these days is hit or miss at best. Call your insurance company first. They will likely cover it if your family practice doc does it, but check beforehand to be safe.
