Answer: Tummy tuck abdominoplasty insurance coverage This completely depends on several factors. It depends on your abdomen, your insurance company and the quality of the letter sent by your board-certified plastic surgeon. If you have significant amount of excess skin and fat of the abdomen, the panniculectomy, abdominoplasty or tummy tuck may be covered. Most insurance companies also want proof of chronic rashes. These rashes need to be treated with multiple topical medications without relief for 3 to 4 months. All this needs to be documented in your medical chart and ideally with photographs.Secondly, all insurance companies are not created equal. Some plans are better than others. I have had very small tummy tucks or abdominoplasties approved by insurance and very big tummy tucks denied by insurance. It completely depends on the quality of your insurance and the insurance provider agreeing to the abdominoplasty or not.Thirdly, many board-certified plastic surgeons don't even bother with insurance. This is because there is a significant amount of time and expense that goes into submitting a letter to the insurance company. This is unfortunate because many abdominoplasties are indeed covered by insurance.in conclusion, I would suggest you seek a board-certified plastic surgeon with a significant amount of experience in submitting abdominoplasties to insurance for authorization. Bottom line, it does not hurt to try. If your abdominoplasty does get covered by insurance, that would be great.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Tummy tuck and insurance There are very few cases where insurance will pay for a tummy tuck. In some cases of extreme weight loss and severe hanging skin, some insurances companies may cover the procedure. You can check with your own insurance, but coverage is quite unlikely. Insurance companies consider most tummy tucks cosmetic in nature.

Answer: Insurance It is quite unfortunate but medical insurance very rarely gets involved when it comes to a tummy tuck. If your circumstance is such that you have signifiant medical issues with the excess tissue at your abdomen, such as severe rashes and skin breakdown, there is a chance. In such case you would likely need to start with your primary care physician to begin the insurance process, but the successful cases of utilizing insurance with aesthetic plastic surgery are few and far between.
