Tummy Tuck costs

Is Tummy tuck covered by insurance?

Tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure and almost never covered by insurance carriers. However, if you have a simultaneous umbilical hernia repaired at the same time, then a certain percentage of the surgery fee may be covered. Some surgeons are known to make up bogus diagnosis in order to get paid by insurance companies. The cost of a tummy tuck varies from $5,000 to $15,000. 

The cost varies because it depends who does it, where it is done and also includes the cost of anesthesia. The procedure can be a lot more expensive if you combine it with a breast or nose job. There are no refunds if the surgeon screws up. In today’s era of unemployment and lack of jobs, you need to think twice before you spend this much money. It may be a partial down payment for a car.
