What to Do for Insurance Coverage for Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction?

User Avatar

I have spreaded since I had my daughter 3 years ago. I am a size D and my breasts get in the way. I also need a tummy tuck because my fat on my stomach gets stuck in the zipper of my pants. I have Amerigroup Medicaid insurance and I live in Maryland. I called to ask if they cover tummy tuck and breast reduction, and they said that it isn't. I have no hope but to cut it myself because I am so depressed. Ever since I had her my self-esteem went down..I need help, these surgeries will make me feel so much better. Any idea on how I can get these procedures covered?
