Why EmSculpt Should Be Covered by Insurance
Abs Are a Human Right!
OK HEAR ME OUT: You Deserve Abs and Insurance Companies Should Pay For It.
I’m not talking about liposuction or abdominal etching — those look good but, at the end of the day, they’re fake abs. I’m talking about a truly strong core, courtesy of Emsculpt. During each of your 4 Emsculpt sessions, your tech straps a machine to your stomach that forces your body to contract. It’s essentially like doing a million crunches at maximum power.
Emsculpt doesn’t just build up your abs. Doctors have been using it off-label on other parts of the body too (think thighs and ass), and there’s even a newer version (Emsculpt Neo) that uses heat to “melt” fat at the same time.
EMSCULPT PRICES ARE NOT CHEAP, YOU NEED MULTIPLE SESSIONS TO SEE RESULTS, AND EMSCULPT IS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE.
EmSculpt prices depend on where you live and the area of your body you choose to treat. They can run anywhere from $750-$1000 per treatment. Oftentimes, medspas will run deals where you can save money if you treat more than one area.
NOW HERE’S WHERE THE GOVERNMENT COMES IN: THINK ABOUT IT. THERE ARE SO MANY MEDICAL ISSUES WHERE HAVING CORE STRENGTH IS KEY:

EMSCULPT FOR DIASTASIS RECTI: During pregnancy, your ab muscles can weaken and separate from each other. For many people, it doesn’t bother them — physically or aesthetically — but some new parents struggle to even shoulder the weight of an 8 lbs newborn. Emsculpt can help strengthen the muscles and bring them back together, helping some patients avoid surgery. We already leave post-partum parents out to dry with no paid leave or childcare support. We shouldn’t leave them in pain too.
EMSCULPT FOR SCOLIOSIS: I’ve had scoliosis now for nearly 2 decades — I wake up in pain and I go to bed in pain. According to every physical therapist and orthopedic surgeon I’ve ever had the (dis)pleasure of paying, a strong core will go a long way in alleviating some of that discomfort. The issue is ab exercises hurt. Not in a “feel the burn” kind of way but in a “sending sharp pain shooting up my back” kind of way. Not only could Emsculpt build my core up enough for me to be able to maintain it on my own but it could also be used directly on my back to build muscle support.
EMSCULPT FOR INCONTINENCE: A weak pelvic floor is one of the key reasons that people experience incontinence. Whether it’s because of a recent birth or because your muscles just need a little help, Emsculpt can help provide relief. Ab work helps to support the pelvic floor and is a great supplement to kegels and other pelvic floor exercises.
If we had universal health care and an actual national commitment to the health of the people living in the United States, Emsculpt would be free and available to anyone who needs it. As it stands, our only hope is that doctors start to understand its benefits are more than just cosmetic and pressure insurance companies to cover the bulk of the costs.
