Is CoolSculpting ever covered by insurance?

CoolSculpting is not covered by insurance because it is a cosmetic procedure, however there is a discount offered based upon the treatment package.  Our office also offers care credit as a form of payment. 

Unfortunately this is not something covered by insurance. Coolsculpting is considered fully cosmetic. Although, lots of office do offer financing options through Care Credit or Green Sky. Both offer low financing and even 6 months with zero interest when paid in full.

Insurance does not cover this procedure because this is a cosmetic procedure. My office offers care credit to help with the cost.

Best of luck, Sheila Nazarian  

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is a cosmetic procedure and is unfortunately not covered by insurance. The price varies from clinic to clinic. Regards, 

CoolSculpting is considered to be an elective procedure as opposed to one that is medically necessary. Generally speaking the first requirement towards having insurance reimburse is that the procedure be medically necessary. With regard to pricing, in our office the average treatment plan ranges between $2,000.00 - $6,000.00 and would generally treat 1 - 4 areas twice. Each area generally sees about a 20% reduction in the fat layer per treatment so we generally see about a 40% reduction in the fat layer at the treatment sites after a two treatment protocol has been fulfilled. Hope that helped to answer your questions. Have a wonderful day.
