A member asked:
Is it possible to get medicaide or medicare to pay for a tummy tuck and muscle repair? i lost over 100 pounds and have back pain.

Not Likely: Medicaid and Medicare will sometimes pay for skin removal in the abdominal area (known as a panniculectomy) only if there is a history of skin irritation and infections. To my knowledge, a Tummy Tuck (with muscle repair) is never considered medically necessary by either of those organizations.
