Medicare Patients

I just learned that Medicare will pay for a tummy tuck and a boob job. I had no idea. There is a really good plastic surgeon who said he'd give me a good deal on doing my face if he did the tummy and the boobs. I am very happy. really just letting you know.

@@wildGoose,

My understanding is that a tummy tuck (panni only) will be covered only if it is deemed medically necessary. And it is not easy to get that deemed medically necessary.

A breast augmentation and tummy tuck is considered cosmetic surgery and few insurances if any will cover these. I cannot imagine that Medicare would actually pay for this.

Did your plastic surgeon tell you this? I would be curious to know where you learned this.

I would hate to see you get stuck with a huge bill at the end and if your doctor has found a loop hole, I am not sure I would trust them.
