Is an Umbilicoplasty ever covered by insurance or mostly a cosmetic procedure?

belly button surgery after hernia repair it is unlikely that insurance will ever cover this procedure but you should contact your plan.this can be improved in the office with local anaesthetic

Thank you for your
question.I have not ever had a situation where insurance has reimbursed for umbilicoplasty.  This can easily be fixed at the time of tummy tuck.

To be sure, see
two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and
complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe
for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

Sorry but this is considered completely cosmetic, as would be the case with other sequelae of oregnancy such as stretch marks or skin sagging.  The insurance companies will no longer cover diastasis rectus and require independent documentation of ventral hernias, with MRIs costing more than the surgical allowance, simply to deter patients.
