Answer: Coverage usually not possible A tummy tuck is considered a cosmetic procedure so insurance doesn’t typically cover it. However, there are rare cases that coverage is possible if the procedure resolves health issues. It’s best to contact your provider to find out, then work with your surgeon to obtain coverage.

Answer: Wanted to know if I could get a tummy tuck with Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance? Unless there is some unusual circumstance, insurance companies generally do not cover 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.The panniculectomy operation involves excision of the lower abdominal wall pannus or overhanging skin/adipose tissue. It is not considered an aesthetically driven procedure; it is often performed to help with concerns such as skin breakdown, infections/rashes… Best wishes.
