Answer: Under what conditions would my insurance company cover a tummy tuck? Insurance may cover a scar revision for the C-section scar, but it will not cover a tummy tuck.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Answer: Tummy tuck not covered Thank you for your question.There is no situation where an insurance company will pay for a cosmetic tummy tuck. Some insurance companies will pay for a Panniculectomy, which is removal of the excess hanging skin of the abdomen. A panniculectomy is usually performed after extreme weight loss and there are strict requirements that need to be met in order for it to be covered by the insurance.
