OHIP does not cover Diastasis Recti Surgery.

OHIP and other health insurance providers consider Diastasis Recti Surgery to be a cosmetic surgery because it's not a medical necessity so OHIP and other health insurance providers cannot and will not cover the cost of the Diastasis Recti Surgery.

If you want to have Diastasis Recti Surgery to cure your Diastasis Recti then you'll have to pay out of pocket for the procedure.

The average cost of Diastasis Recti Surgery is $10,000.00

If you don't have the money you can get a personal loan to get the Diastasis Recti Surgery done.

However sometimes Diastasis Recti will cure itself and go away after around a year or 2 years.

Any surgery that is considered to be cosmetic in nature OHIP or other health insurance providers will not cover the cost.

For OHIP or other health insurance providers to cover the cost of the surgery it must be medically necessary.
