Is abdominalplasty covered under FMLA?

Question

William J. Hedden, MD · Answer

Typically abdominoplasty is covered under most FMLA policies. But every business is different and you should probably double check the policy before hand. But we have never had FMLA denied because of the type of surgery being performed. I hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  In general FMLA does not cover cosmetic surgery procedures unless it requires an in-hospital admission or results in complications considered a "serious medical condition. Hope this helps.

Abdominoplasty is always an out of pocket expense. Insurances do not cover cosmetic surgery.  Consult with a plastic surgeon when you are ready.
