Does medicaid pay for tummy tuck or liposuction? I can't stop eating eat like crazy

In two words, I'd say no chance.  Insurance is not going to cover cosmetic surgery of any kind.  

Thank you for your question about tummy tuck.No, Medicaid does not pay for tummy tuck or liposuction.To know your options, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have tummy tuck or body contouring surgery.Most reputable plastic surgeons charge a consult fee.  Time and expertise have value.I hope this helps.

Insurance will only pay for procedures which are medically necessary, which tummy tuck is not. Once in a while, they might cover a procedure which will remove fat which hangs down below one's pubic area and is causing rashes, infection, and other medical issues, but even then, sometimes, not. Even more important, you mention you have problems with eating, and if this is not addressed, you will never get the result you're looking for, because it will only be temporary. I think you should visit with a nutritionist or bariatric doctor to get involved in a program designed to learn healthy lifestyles and habits. Only after you improve in that department can you focus on the secondary aspects. I wish you Luck!Dr. Subbio

 Generally insurance companies pay for procedures that give functional improvement. Although there are some functional benefits to tummy tuck and liposuction, they are virtually always considered cosmetic by insurance companies. Neither of those procedures are a treatment for obesity. 

Forget about anything considered "Cosmetic" as no insurance will cover this unless there is significant functional reasons like breast asymmetry (such as a congenital condition or after mastectomy for cancer). A tummy tuck will also never be covered by insurance, but occasionally a panniculectomy will. This is a term for removing only the apron of skin at the lower tummy area and only if it is very severe and causes problems like recurrent infection, rashes, etc .This procedure is done for medical indications and not for cosmetic reasons.
