need your help!!

Does anyone know if medicare cover the surgery for the loose skin and if not what kind of money am i looking at?

Hello Atonio I checked into a Plastic Surgeon in Kansas City, and just for a tummy tuck he wanted $10,000 and he doesnt bill insurance and everything has to be paid before surgery. There was one member on here that said her doctor was going to do a tummy tuck and Medicare is paying for it. You will just have to look around for a doctor you trust and find payment options. good Luck Kathleen

Atonio This was a post from last week on TT and Medicare. Hi Everybody! Well I am going for my tummy tuck on 11/7. I am excited! It is a same day surgery which blew me away! I am having it done at Cox Walnut Lawn Extension By Dr. Hawes. Medicare will be paying for it. Please kepp me in your thoughts and prayers. I will update when I get back. Love you all, Carol Holman Posted on 11/3/06 I hope this helps you out. Melissa

Dear Antonio, I just had my tummy tuck yesterday and medicare paid for it. they will pay if it's a medical necessity. Like rashes and infections. You just have to find a doctor who will accept it. If I can help you in any way let me know. Carol
