Contact them and find out. No one here can tell you definitively.
She is right actually...this can be told by medicare itself that they will pay for the 3rd time or not.
Usually, a tummy tuck surgery can cost $3000-$12000, The medicare had paid for my 2nd tummy tuck did in Lakeview surgery center, a cosmetic surgery center in Barrie (http://www.lakeviewsurgery.com/). My surgery costs $9,250 whi*****ludes all the pre-operative care and our three-year aftercare program. That was a modified tummy tuck which had removed all the excessive fat and skin from below belly button without changing the exact position of my belly button. I don’t know whether medicare should pay for third time. It’s better to contact them and find out. All the best.
