Will insurance cover Liposuction if there is a medical need?

Asked By:kate64 in Atlanta, GA

I have mitochondrial disease and I gained 45 lbs from taking a medication to control disease progression. Recently I have been working out to address the weight gain however there are a few areas that I am having trouble burning fat off with cardio. The fat needs to go because extra fat causes the disease to progress and flare up. I cannot afford liposuction and I am curious if I can get the procedure covered due to my condition.
