Payment and Financing Options

The cost of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) involves three different areas: the surgeon’s fee, the facility fee and the anesthesiology fee. The surgeon’s portion can start at $3,500 and increase to $6,000 or more. The facility fee can start at $700 and increase to $1,000 or more. The fee for the anesthesia can start at $500 and increase to $700 or more. There are various factors that determine what the cumulative cost will be.

Generally, health insurance would not cover the tummy tuck procedure. They are considered to be for cosmetic purposes, so the insurance would not cover that. If a person does not have the money up front to pay for this procedure, their next step would be to look for payment and financing alternatives. They can ask the cosmetic surgeon about these options. Usually, the surgeon can advise them of alternatives that include using their in-house financing program.

The surgeon’s in-house financing program for a tummy tuck procedure can consist of monthly payment plans. There are different factors that how much the monthly payments will be. These factors include the cost of the tummy tuck and how good the person’s credit rating is. If the credit rating is in good standing, then the chances of getting financing are favorable.

There are other finance companies that can be used in addition to the surgeon’s in-house financing program. Medical finance companies have lists of surgeons that they work with in regard to getting a loan to pay for the cost of a tummy tuck. As with the surgeon’s financing program, the payments will depend on the cost and the credit rating.

Because there is no information regarding the experience of each surgeon, the person will need to conduct due diligence outside of securing financing. It’s important to get references so that you are not paying for a surgeon who does not have a good track record.
