Is Sculpt Sure covered by Medicaid and Medicare?

Thank you for your question. SculpSure is intended to be a body contouring procedure. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Sculpsure is a noninvasive laser treatment that removes up to 25% of stubborn fat in the treated area in 25 minutes.It is FDA approved for the abdomen and flanks. It is safe if you get pregnant in the future.It is not covered by insurance since it is cosmetic. The body contouring effects are seen in as quick as six weeks with final results at 12 weeks. The results are permanent as long as you maintain your weight and health.The laser targets and destroys the fat cells only which are then naturally removed from the body. Since the laser does not affect the skin or muscle it can be used on all skin colors and there has been no reported incidents of burns when treated by a properly trained physician. It has four applicators that can be customized to treat the areas of stubborn fat. If a second treatment is needed we wait at least six weeks and usually closer to 12. There is no downtime and you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment. There may be some soreness in the area for a few days for which you can take ibuprofen or tylenol. A cold compress can also be used.Sculpsure is not used for skin tightening however some of her patients have seen this. If more skin tightening is needed we have combined this with thermi or Ulthera for a complete treatment. Sculpsure is recommended for stubborn areas of fat that are not being lost by diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss treatmentSince I have both a coolsculpting and sculpsure I am working on protocols of utilizing both of these depending upon what areas need to be treated and the response to the treatment. I have used sculpsure on other areas other than the abdomen with very good results. I also use a Vectra 3D imaging system to try and show people what their treatment areas could look like.Since Sculpsure outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Sculpsure or other treatments are available to meet your goals.

Non invasive fat options are for sculpting and not for weight loss.  I suggest you post pictures and see an expert for an evaluation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.Elective cosmetic procedures are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid.Thank you

SculpSure would not be covered by Medicaid or Medicare because it is considered an elective cosmetic procedure.  Additionally, SculpSure is not a weight loss treatment but rather a procedure to help reduce isolated areas of unwanted fat.  

Unfortunately, SculpSure is considered a cosmetic procedure and is, therefore, not covered by insurance. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. I’m sorry but SculpSure is considered a
cosmetic procedure so it is not covered by Medicaid or Medicare. Considering
your circumstance, I think it is best you first visit your primary care
physician before trying to undergo any fat reduction procedure. Discuss your
issues and what you are hoping to accomplish. I wish you all the best.

Thanks for sharing your question. I can
appreciate your concern.I'm sorry that you have issues with your health. Sculpsure is not a weight loss method, it is a sculpting method. This makes it a cosmetic not a functional method, which means your insurance will not cover for it. You may benefit from weight loss surgery, a dietitian and a personal trainer.

Wishing you the best in your journey

SculpSure is not covered by any health insurance companies including Medicare and Medicaid.  It is also not indicated for people with a BMI (body mass index) greater than 30.

Unfortunately, this is considered a cosmetic procedure and would not be covered by insurance. Most cosmetic practices will have financing options available if you desire this kind of assistance.As for your weight, this will help with fat reduction, but is not a treatment for weight loss. You should be evaluated by a specialist in person to see if you are a good candidate.
