Does Medicaid pay for tummy tuck?

Unfortunately insurance, including Medicare, does not cover cosmetic procedures. The definition of cosmetic surgery varies, though from an insurance perspective, cosmetic surgery refers to any surgery with the purpose to modify or improve the appearance of a physical feature with no specific medical reason to do so. A medical need could include a condition that causes significant physical dysfunction or psychological distress to a patient, but many health insurance companies have defined criteria to determine if the surgery meets the requirements for coverage.

This is generally considered a cosmetic operation and therefore, is not typically covered by an insurance plan.

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure that is not covered by Medicaid. It is considered elective, non emergency, non life saving surgery, thus not covered by any insurance whatsoever.
