Does Medicare cover vaginal tightening procedures?

Medicare in Australia does not usually cover vaginal tightening procedures when performed for cosmetic or non-medical reasons. Coverage may be possible if surgery is medically necessary, such as for pelvic organ prolapse or severe functional problems.

Clinical Context

Always request a written referral and clear medical justification from your clinician if you believe your case is medically necessary. Ask your provider for details about coverage and any out-of-pocket costs.

Evidence-Based Approaches

Coverage and criteria can change, so check the most recent Medicare guidelines or speak to a clinic’s billing team for personalised advice. Australian Government: About Medicare.
