Will Medicaid pay for my tummy tuck? (Photo)

Unfortunately, insurance doesn’t typically cover a tummy tuck because it is considered a cosmetic procedure. It would also be a good idea to reach your goal stable weight before proceeding with a breast reduction or tummy tuck, as weight loss after surgery can negatively impact your results.

Sometimes insurance will pay for a breast reduction if criteria are met. A tummy tuck is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. Care Credit is a specific line of credit that can be used toward medical procedures. Many plastic surgeons accept this form of payment, but you will need to check with your selected surgeon to be sure he/she accepts it.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Medicaid will not pay for a TT as it is deemed a not medically necessary procedure. You may be able to have the breast reduction covered, however.
