My insurance has approved abdominoplasty , panniculectomy and and mastodopexy - why do surgeons not accept insurance?

Most plastic surgeons do not accept insurance because the reimbursement amount is too small and usually delayed. Some insurance companies refuse to pay at all.

Best Wishes,

Hello, thank you for your question. Reason being that a plastic surgeon will not accept the fact that the insurance company will pay for these things is because most times they end up not paying or paying next to nothing. The payments that are received from insurance does not even cover the cost of supplies most times. Best of luck !
