Answer: Will my insurance cover skin removal/tummy tuck surgery - I am a diabetic. Thank you for the question. The tummy tuck operation will serve to remove “excess” skin/subcutaneous tissues and “repair” abdominal wall muscles that have spread with pregnancy and/or weight gain/loss. The operation should not be expected to help with treatment or control of diabetes. Well controlled diabetes is not a contraindication to tummy tuck surgery and/or other elective plastic surgical procedures. However, diabetics are at a greater risk of infection compared to non-diabetic patients. Always best to check with your primary care physician or endocrinologist for “medical clearance” prior to surgery. Managing your diabetic medications around the time of surgery (to avoid hypo as well as hyperglycemia), while you will have altered oral intake, will be important.I would not expect insurance companies to cover the procedure. Best wishes.

Answer: Insurance for tummy tuck In general, the answer is no, insurance will typically not apply to abdominoplasty surgeries that are intended to improve the appearance. However, in specific cases, panniculectomies may be covered by insurance for severe, medically intractable conditions such as infections of an abdominal pannus. A consultation with a plastic surgeon and a predetermination by your insurance are necessary to determine this.
