Kerrie Edwards is a mother on a mission to petition the House of Representatives to reinstate Medicare benefits for abdominoplasty for mothers. Abdominal separation is a common condition that affects many women after pregnancy and childbirth and often an abdominoplasty is the only solution. Don’t miss this podcast with Kerrie Edwards on why we all need to support the tummy tuck petition.
Medicare has labelled abdominoplasty as purely cosmetic, but this is not the case. Several plastic surgeons are in support of this petition and have made their own attempts to reinstate the benefit for abdominoplasty but Kerrie says we must not give up.
How much out if pocket would you be if it was covered by Medicare?
I know I drew from my superannuation for my abdominoplasty. But best choice I made???
They would cover the hospital component and I’m not sure what else? Would be a good question – one for the group!!
