I want to do a tummy tuck at a year out ... I did my surgrey with healthfirst ins ( medicare ) do u think the medicare cover it .. Some ppl say yes and some say yes .. have anyone done it with madicare ???

it depends on what state you are from. in Connecticut i have Husky A which is medicare as well. they cover the body not the arms and legs i believe. my friend is getting hers done next month but your Surgeons office should be very familiar with what they cover and you can also call your insurance directly and they will tell you. mine covers it a year out and it has to be medically neccessary causing rashes and irritation stuff like that

At a year out, your body will not have finished bouncing back. I'm 15 months post, been at goal for 7 months, and things are still shifting around. My plan has been to wait until 2 years post. That way, whatever elasticity my skin has will be done as well as whatever my body can re-absorb. I think a year post is just too early.

Your insurance will only cover it if it is causing you health issues. Google the topic.
