Will Medicaid Pay from Saline Breast Implant Removal?

The only way to know for sure is to visit with a qualified surgeon who contracts with Medicaid insurance.  He or she can help you understand your options and if surgery would be covered by your insurance.  Most of the time, cosmetic implant-related surgery is not covered by insurance - Medicaid or other.

Good day! Any insurance might not cover explantation because it is considered as a cosmetic procedure, not a medical necessity. More so with your history of breast augmentation. They may, however, consider covering the procedure if there is a legitimate medical reason that your doctor should be able to diagnose.
It is best to have an in-person examination so that costs will be customized according to your needs. You may also ask the manufacturer of your implant if explantation is covered in their warranty or insurance that you paid when you got them. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Thank you for your question.  Sorry to hear that you are having troubles.  Please contact your local Medicaid office.  They will tell you the Board Certified Plastic Surgeons that are on their panel.  I would then see the Plastic Surgeon.  They can submit the case and Medicaid will determine if it is medically necessary, if so they will cover the procedure.  Best to see an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  Together you will work out a plan.Jeffrey J.
