Tummy Tuck Covered by Insurance?

Unfortunately, insurance does not cover a tummy tuck. Occasionally with documentation of recurrent infection they will pay for a panniculectomy (simply removing loose skin).#tt#tummytuck

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.

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.
