I have been diagnosed with stage one Lipedema. I know that it is progressive and harder to treat when it gets worse. It was so frustrating for so long because I would diet, work out to excessive, worked with a traitor. I was even desperate enough to almost starve myself. None of it worked. None of it! I am thin on top and have huge tree trunk legs. Now I know why. I know liposuction is cosmetic; will this procedure be covered in order to treat a real medial issue that isn't cosmetic?

Answer: Liposuction I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis of lipedema.Liposuction may be an option for you. Unfortunately insurers consider liposuction a cosmetic procedure and most plans do not cover liposuction even got medical conditions like lipedema.Nevertheless it does not hurt to check. You can do yourself by calling the eligibility number on the back of your insurance card. I I hope that this answear helped some. Good luck.

Answer: Will insurance cover liposuction for my lipedema? I am sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing. Unfortunately, online consultants will not be able to predict with any reliable degree of accuracy whether your specific health insurance policy will cover surgical treatment. Best to check directly with your insurance company to see whether breast reduction surgery is a “covered” benefit with your specific policy. Generally speaking, patients who are looking for help from insurance companies will potentially need to be persistent/patient. Best wishes.
