Tummy tuck will not be covered by insurance companies in the US due to its cosmetic nature. Occasionally, patients with a large amount of overhang can get coverage for a panniculectomy.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Unfortunately, tummy tucks are not covered by insurance. Sometimes people can obtain partial coverage for this procedure if they have significant overhanging skin that can cause medical problems such as rashes, ulcers and odor. Usually these are patients that have undergone massive weight loss from bariatric surgery.
