Do Medicaid in NYC cover breast reduction or lift and tummy tuck after gastric bypass?

If there is a functional problem, such as chronic skin changes due to excess skin, there is the possibility of Medicaid coverage. Most the time however it will not.

Medicaid will cover breast reduction and panniculectomy (removing skin from your tummy area) if you meet certain criteria. The breasts need to be a certain size, the abdominal skin typically needs to hang below your genitals, and you need to have symptoms associated.
