Answer: Insurance reimbursement You may get medicare to cover a panniculectomy but in my experience the compensation is so incredibly low that many plastic surgeons will not accept medicare. Good luck, Jane

Answer: Insurance coverage for a Panniculectomy Thank you for your question, and congratulations on your very successful weight loss! Insurance companies will sometimes cover a Panniculectomy - surgical removal of the "apron" of excess abdominal skin and tissue following extreme weight loss. Your best bet is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will perform a careful examination and let you know what kind of medically-necessary documentation you will need to provide regarding any underlying medical issues such as chafing or rashes beneath your abdominal skin.
