Answer: Not usually A tummy tuck is generally not covered by insurance unless there is a special reason why the procedure would be necessary for you, and this reason would have to be therapeutic rather than just cosmetic. Please contact your insurance provider to find out if your tummy tuck would be covered.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Covered by Insurance? Unless there is some unusual circumstance, insurance companies generally do not cover tummy tuck surgery. In other words, insurance companies do not consider this operation medically necessary. Sometimes, however insurance companies will cover excision of lower abdominal wall skin/apron; this operation is called a panniculectomy. Best wishes.

Answer: Abdomeninoplasty is a cosmetic procedure
Abdominoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure which is generally not covered by health insurance. This procedure removes excess skin and fat, lifts the pubic area, tightens the muscles, and reshapes the umbilicus (belly button).
If you have had a large weight loss and have excess skin which hangs past your pubic area (pannus), health insurance may pay for a portion of the procedure to remove it (panniculectomy). This may lessen some of the cost of the abdominoplasty, but is frequently very difficult to have approved by insurance carriers. I would recommend a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. I wish you the best of luck, Andrew Lyos MD, FACS.
