Answer: Lipoma Insurance Coverage for Lipoma on Buttock Lipomas are classified as subcutaneous tumors and they have an ICD 10 diagnosis code and a CPT code for the size and location.

I prefer to remove these lesions completely through a 2 cm incision.

Answer: Is Lipoma Removal Covered by Insurance Dear Ashwinona, Lipoma removal is generally covered by insurance. The amount of coverage will depend on your particular insurance plan. This can be determined before surgery by requesting an estimate of benefits from the insurance company. I personally remove many lipomas in my practice make sure you go to a surgeon who has vast experience. You do not want to over excise the lipoma leaving to much third space where fluid can build up.
