Will Insurance Pay for Diastasis Recti?

April 15, 2013
Asked By:eoliverpeck

I had very large twins in 2010. 16 lbs of babies, 4 lb placenta and 1000mls of fluid. I was stretched to the MAX. Now I have this bulge which is diastasis and whenever I exercise my abdomen it seems painful and can it also cause back pain? bc i'm def experiencing that too. Just want to find out if there are cases in which insurance agencies pay for this. A friend of mine had a mommy makeover and her surgeon is going to try to send that portion in bc it was medically necessary, i think mine is too
