I have diastasis recti from my recent pregnancy. I also have Hyper Lordosis of my spine. Before the diastasis my ab muscles were constantly strong to help my back muscles keep my spine from collapsing and arching more. The back pain from the lack of ab muscle strength is, at times, unbearable. My body, because of my spine, is still trying to use my ab muscles which is making diastasis worse.
Answer: Do you think, because of my spinal condition and pain, insurance would cover surgery for my diastasis recti? There is always a possibility that you will have an improvement in back issues with a tightening of the abdominal wall but it is not guaranteed. It's doubtful that medical insurance would cover the surgery for diastasis recti repair.

Answer: Insurance and Surgery It is possible that they could cover this if they believe that it would fix your condition. However, I would find this to be unlikely as it is mostly a cosmetic procedure unless there’s also a hernia developing in the diastasis.

Answer: Diastasis Recti Repair Diastasis recti is when the rectus or six pack muscles separate away from the midline either due to pregnancy of massive weight loss or at time genetics. This separation, if severe, causes the muscle to not function properly. Many patients state that the lower back pain is improved or resolved after repair.This procedure can be performed along a tummy tuck procedure or separate from such a procedure by making a smaller incision, similar to a c section and performing the repair that way.This procedure is still considered cosmetic as there is no procedure code to document this. Therefore insurance companies will not cover this procedure.Hope that helps.
