Just wondering what your experience is regarding insurance coverage for a tummy tuck consult.

 Mine covered nothing..it was totally self pay.  The consult fee did go towards my surgical fee .

My insurance did pay for the consult.  I'm wondering if this is a good sign that the surgery will be covered.  Everything has been submitted, just waiting to see if I'm approved or not.  I did have documentation from two different physicians who have treated me for recurring rashes and infections and I did have a rash at the time of the consult when they took the pictures.

I think that is a great sign that they covered the consult!  Good luck and hope you get it covered.

I got really excited when my doctors office said they approved the consult but she said not to get excited because they approved just about everyone for the consult (and it means nothing towards getting the actual procedure covered). I think that's b.s. though... why would they cover the consult if they have NO intention of atleast debating about covering the actual surgery?
