Answer: Insurance and TT Unfortunately, insurance does not cover a tummy tuck. Occasionally with documentation of recurrent infection they will pay for a panniculectomy (simply removing loose skin).#tt#tummytuck

Answer: Probably not You will have to consult your insurance provider to find out if your tummy tuck is covered. However, in general, the answer would be no unless it would resolve a physical impairment directly caused by excess skin and fat as well as separated muscles in the area you want to target, and a tummy tuck is proven to be the most suitable treatment for you.

Answer: Revision of Tummy Tuck is always a cosmetic operation
Hi there-
Unless the bulge you are describing can be proven to be a true hernia, revision of your tummy tuck surgery would always be considered a cosmetic procedure and would not be covered under any insurance plan.

Answer: Revision Tummy Tuck and Insurance Coverage?
Thank you for the question.
Although not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination, there is nothing in your description that sounds “medically necessary”. Direct communication with your insurance company may be more helpful to you.
Best wishes.

Answer: Insurance coverage for TT
Insurance coverage cannot be used for cosmetic surgery. Most insurance policies explicitly state that. Moreover, many do do even cover revisions unless they are of detriment to your health and not caused by cosmetic surgery. Its a gray area and I would not expect any help from the insurance companies unless your doctor detects a true medical condition.
