Can liposuction used to treat lipoedema ever be covered by insurance?

Lipedema treatment is controversial at best, and liposuction is considered cosmetic in nature by effectively every insurance carrier I've ever come across in my experience.  Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.  I've attached a link where you can start your search. 

This type of liposuction needs an expert and often you will not see a cosmetic result only some medical improvement.  Rarely does insurance cover this.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Insurance policies all vary, so it’s always best to check with your representative to best know what your policy states specifically.  However, most insurances will almost always deny procedures that include liposuction as they most often associate this with cosmetic procedures.  You can ask your physician to try to get a precertification, but it’s likely it will be denied.  Best to start with a phone call to your insurance company to discuss your policy.
