Question:
What is the cost of Adominoplasty?
I was told by my surgeon that I do need an adominoplasty. However, I was told that with my insurance, I will need to pay about 1/4 of the cost myself. I'm wondering how much this might be. Also, I'm wondering why they would cover only a partial amount? I'm a military wife, with TriCare Prime. — [Anonymous] (posted on November 19, 2001)

I too am a military wife and just discussed this with my surgeon today. If
you find a military hospital with a plastic sugeon (Fort Gordon, Ga) then
you wont pay a dime. Let me know if you find out anything else or
different....p.s. I had my Open RNY at a military hospital with no cost to
me whatsoever.

Hi, I am also tricare prime and you need to retalk to them. I am preop as
far as my wls goes, but I was fully aproved for a tummy tuck a while ago,
and it was 100% paid for. I know it sounds wierd, tummy tuck and then wls
thats a military doctor for you lol. But check into it especially since
congress just passed a law this past fiscal year that there will no longer
be co-pays not even the five dollars we used to pay to see an off base PCM.
Any more questions please contact me. Good luck and by the way where are
you stationed? ~Angel~

My friend is tricare prime she just had a breast reduction and had
complications and had to stay in the hospital longer than she thought she
was in a plush hospital with her own private room and treated like a queen
off base for those of you who have had surgery on base you know there is a
difference. :P Anyway, she didnt even pay a dime not even for her husband
to stay there and eat it was covered too. So, I would definately look into
it more sounds like you are getting the raw end of the deal.

If this helps...I just had abdominoplasty and brachioplsty with a hernia
repair. The insurance paid for the hernia, the anasthesia and part of the
OR and the hospital room. I paid the plastic surgeon's fee of $7500.
