John Mesa, MD · Answer

Medicaid is for medically necesary treatments and procedures.Medically necesary means that if not performed the health of the patient can be compromised,Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is an elective cosmetic procedure, not a medically necesary one, therefore medicait won't pay for it.

Matthew Schulman, MD · Answer

Brazilian Butt Lift is an elective cosmetic surgery. No insurance, or Medicaid, will cover this cost since insurance is designed to cover emergency procedures and procedures of medical need. All plastic surgeons require payment prior to the surgery. There are some outside finance companies that you can explore that will allow you to make payments after the surgery.

Unfortunately Medicaid will not cover your Brazilian Butt Lift.  Most surgeons require pre-payment for the entire surgery.  Financing plans are available in many offices through third parties such as Care Credit or Alphaeon.  Good luck!

Medicaid does not pay for this being that it is cosmetic typically insurance will not cover this, Most offices do like the payment in full prior to the surgery.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

A Brazilian butt lift is a self-pay procedure and the customary way to pay is in advance. You can finance it if you desire.
