Does insurance help pay for procedures?

Question

Cool sculpting

David L. Kaufman, MD FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Health insurance plans may cover certain medical and reconstructive procedures, but not cosmetic treatments like CoolSculpting®. If you’re concerned that CoolSculpting® may be out of your budget, CareCredit® and ALPHEON® offer payment plans and financing options for cosmetic procedures. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. Insurance generally does not cover coolsculpting as it  is a cosmetic treatment. Please discuss pricing with your provider.Regards,

Hello, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately insurance will not cover this procedure. Many practices will provide a package plan! Good luck!

Hi connectpoint2003.  Insurance will not consider noninvasive fat reduction medically necessary, so no coverage should be expected.  Nonetheless, ask your coolsculpting provider for package pricing and other promotions that add value to the treatment and may make it a do-able option for you.  Be sure to see a CS certified provider.  Best wishes,

Cosmetic procedures, including Coolsculpting are not reimbursable with insurance. You may be able to use a Health Savings credit card to pay for treatments in a physicians office, but I have NEVER heard of insurance playing a part in covering Coolsculpting.

Insurance does not cover CoolSculpting. Discuss specific treatment plans with your provider - including areas of concern, desired outcome, and budget.

Unfortunately, insurance will not pay for Coolsculpting.  It is considered a cosmetic treatment and insurance companies will not cover for cosmetic procedures.  
Hope this helps,

No....Coolsculpting is considered  a cosmetic procedure . Although, it is non invasive procedure  insurance companies will not cover the costs.

Unfortunately health insurance does not cover CoolSculpt costs.  This is considered an elective procedure.  Health insurance covers medical problems that can result in harm to your physical health.
