What form of payment do you accept and what is the total cost? I have VA and medicare.

Thank you for your question.  Many plastic surgeons will have some form of payment plan in their office.  I would call a Kybella plastic surgeon in your area to inquire.  We take Care Credit and Alpheon in our office.  Also, Medicare would not cover this treatment as it is purely cosmetic in nature.

Dear claude1,The cost for Kybella injections has an average range, but I suggest you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon to receive the highest-quality treatment, care, knowledge and injectable technique as well as to discuss cost.

Kybella is purely cosmetic and not covered by insurance, payments can vary from state to state and region to region. Most patients will require two vials and three to four treatments

Cosmetic procedures like Kybella are not covered by insurance.  There are financing companies that will give you money without interest for up to a year.

Kybella is a cosmetic treatment and is not usually covered by insurance. Pricing can vary from city to city. The typical patient will require 2 to 4 treatments for results.

Dear claude1:So sorry that Kybella is not covered by insurance. Cosmetic treatments need to be paid for by the patients who choose to have them, or our economy truly would be bankrupt!However, if there is a dermatology or plastic surgery training program near you, you might call and offer to be a subject for residents learning to perform the procedure under the supervision of the attending dermatologist or plastic surgeon, if you feel comfortable with that idea.  This is especially true if there is a VA medical center than has residents seeing patients in the clinics.All the best!Dr. Clark

Kybella injections are considered cosmetic and therefore not covered by insurance carriers. If you are still interested in having the procedure done, please schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon trained to inject Kybella to discuss whether or not the treatment is appropriate for you and the different financing options that are available.I hope this answer is helpful. Best of luck!

 Cosmetic surgery including liposuction the neck, Kybella and any other procedure  does not meet the definition of medical necessity, therefore patient's must pay for the surgery themselves

Unfortunately, both your VA benefits and Medicare will be about as useful as a library card when it comes to paying for cosmetic surgery.There is one exception. Many VA hospitals have residency programs. While the VA is not in the business of supplying cosmetic surgery, from time to time we did do some cosmetic surgery at the VA hospital during my training at no charge to the patients. This is certainly not the standard, and I would not count on it. Payments are typically required before the procedure. For patients who do not have all the money saved up, the procedure can be financed in whole or partially by using credit cards or specialty medical financing from companies such as CareCredit. CareCredit offers several different financing plans. With some doctors' offices, CareCredit will offer zero interest financing for at least a limited amount of time. From time to time, some surgeons may set up a payment system for patients to have a procedure paid off after the procedure is completed. Unfortunately, high delinquency rates keep most plastic surgeons from offer these typesBest of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D. of plans.
