Does any health insurance cover mommy makeover?

Mommy makeovers are considered cosmetic procedures, not medical necessities; and are, therefore, not covered by health insurance.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Insurance will pay for a hernia repair almost always. They will not pay for diastasis recti repair. They will pay for a breast reduction if you meet the criteria. They will not pay for an augmentation or lift. They may pay for a panniculectomy if you skin hanging over 2 inches. This is not a tummy tuck. They will not pay for a tummy tuck or mommy makeover.

A mommy makeover is typically for cosmetic reasons, so health insurance doesn’t usually cover it. However, you can always ask your provider to see if they do. When asking, you’ll need to specify exactly what procedures will be done of your mommy makeover. For example, it may be a tummy tuck, breast lift and breast augmentation.
