Medicare will pay for a tummy tuck (panniculectomy) if there is a medical reason to do so - they will not pay for cosmetic purposes. If you have excessive skin causing skin irritation, yeast infections, or other conditions that aren't improving with conservative treatment, Medicare will likely cover a panniculectomy.
