    Medicare will only provide coverage for this if it's deemed medically necessary. If you're just trying to have excess skin removed for cosmetic purposes, you're going to be paying for the procedure out of pocket.

    If it is medically necessary, Medicare will cover some of the costs, but not generally not all (likely up to 80% with you responsible for the other 20%). I would make sure you have a Medicare supplement (Medigap) plan as well to cover any portions of expenses you're responsible for (and any excess charges if your doctor does not accept assignment).

    If you'd like to review options for Medicare supplement plans in your zip code, send me a message by clicking on the "contact me" button and I will go over the available options with you.
