Default Does Insurance ever cover body lifts?

Hi

Has anyone had the experience where the insurance covers body lifts, tummy tuck or breast lifts? I was wondering what the criteria was to get it covered?

Thanks for any info.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I have read that it sometimes covers the removal of the extra belly skin if you have exceptional trouble with rashes and infections under it. This is not the same as a tummy tuck. Some people have opted to pay the difference between the removal and a tummy tuck and were allowed to do so. Otherwise, I don't think so.
