Can insurance cover the removal of excess abdominal skin?
In some cases, yes.
This procedure, called a panniculectomy, may be covered when certain criteria are met:
✔️ Your weight has been stable for several months
✔️ You have significant excess skin
✔️ You’re experiencing symptoms like irritation under the skin folds
✔️ Conservative treatments (like creams or lotions) haven’t helped
If you’ve experienced dramatic weight loss and have been left with excess skin, your insurance may cover your procedure.
