Can an umbilical hernia be remedied without a scar & big price tag? (Photo)

Gems
From posting this photo and asking about a tummy tuck alternative, I discovered my real problem is not skin sag, but rather an umbilical hernia. BTW, Thanks to all the Doctors that answered my questions and alerting me to this. Is repairing this hernia something I can have my insurance pay for or do I have to seek out a plastic surgeon?
