Can a NP or a PA remove a lipoma? Our insurance provider wants to use a NP to remove a lipoma from my wife's side.

Probably, but I would advise using a board-certified surgeon such as a plastic surgeon for a procedure such as this.  Lipomas can be tricky and it's hard to argue against the training and experience of a surgeon.What would be the disadvantage of using a surgeon?I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of #RealSelf500
