WORTH IT$6,101

I am scheduled to have my tummy tuck in a week. I am so excited. I have been reading numerous blogs and watching tons of videos and everyone seems so pleased.

My procedure was scheduled at $9,400. I just found out that my insurance will pay for at least the anesthesia and facility charges which total $3,300. The Dr. felt around my navel and asked me if it hurt and said he felt some weaknesses so he put in the diagnosis as if he was going to repair something.

My total charges are now $6,100. I was so excited when I found that out because I was going to do it no matter what but WOW I saved some money. My procedure is coming up and I will keep you guys posted on my recovery.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Sounds like he thinks you have a hernia that needs fixing-that insurance will pay. Lucky he will do the rest of the work you want while he's aleady there doing the insurance work. I wanted my PS to do some lipo when he was doing my BR in Oct. and he said he couldn't do that (even thou I would pay for the extra) since insurance was paying for the BR so that was all he could do. Now I'm getting my TT and lipo on Thursday with same surgeon.

Good Luck!!! Mines May 2! NeRvOuS !!! I have to have the extensive TT! :(
March 26, 2013
No he's not sure so it won't hurt to check. Even checking the insurance will still pay for the facility and anesthesia.

How did you go about getting the insurance to cover some of the expenses?
April 1, 2013
Well when he feels your abdomen tell him it hurts. Ask the drs office if the insurance covers at least facility and anesthesia. You can't go in as a cosmetic. It has to be medical reason first then cosmetic.
