Will my Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance cover a tummy tuck?

Insurance typically does not cover cosmetic surgery. Panniculetomy is sometimes covered, but this does not result in the same outcome as a tummy tuck. Good luck. Dr. Aldo

Although cosmetic procedures are never covered by insurance, certain procedures related to your surgery may be covered by certain insurance carriers. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

I have never had an "insurance" entity authorize  tummy tuck surgery. In other words, insurance companies do not consider this operation medically necessary. Sometimes, however insurance companies will cover excision of lower abdominal wall skin/apron;  this operation is called a panniculectomy. 


Best wishes.
