for Medical 3D Areola Tattooing
Metamorphosis Ink LLC, aka Boobs And Tattoos™, attained our NPI (National Provider Identifier) number in 2024. This qualifies our studio to be recognized as a Health Care Provider, allowing reimbursement for paramedical areola and nipple tattooing possible for some. A milestone we worked very hard for.

Submit and Follow Up
Step
Begin the insurance claim process before your tattoo appointment. Starting early can reduce waiting time for reimbursement and ensure you have all necessary documentation ready. Starting at the time of your consultation is best to have all information necessary.
Contact your insurance provider first, & ask about their requirements for coverage and reimbursement for medical 3D areola tattooing.
​
Not all insurance companies will approve claims for this procedure, so confirm eligibility in advance.
​
We are not an in-network provider for any insurance company. However, some insurers may allow a one-time in-network application, approving us for their qualification.
​
We do qualify for PPO insurance plans.
You will need to provide several documents to support your claim:
-
Prescription from your doctor with the correct codes
-
(ICD-10 and CPT)
-
-
Claim reimbursement form from your insurance company
-
Receipt of payment for the tattooing procedure (including any deposits)
-
Letter of medical tattooing necessity (your tattoo artist can often provide this)
Submit your claim with all required documentation.
​
Then, follow up with your insurance company as needed to check the status of your claim and provide any additional information they may request.
Important Notes
-
Approval is not guaranteed. Each insurance company has its own policies and criteria.
-
Be proactive. Starting the process early and staying on top of follow-ups can improve your chances of reimbursement.
