Does Anyone Know If Blue Care Network Of Mi Covers Reconstructive Surgery After Wls

Yes im still on my journey buy I would like to know before I invest in some major Spanx. I will definitely need a pannilectomy, the inner thighs tightened, brachioplasty for my arms, and breast augmentation. Those are not wants they are needs, I have been so fat for so long no amount of exercise will fix it.

This is an old post but I went to see my second plastic surgeon today. FOR SURE...if you have lost over 100 lbs. and you have over hang/skin issues I was told they cover it. the rest is considered cosmetic. Although, I am going to try my best to see if they will cover arms. Cross your fingers.

I was told by my family doctor that if you have a medical reason for the arms, like sores and rashes from extra skin rubbing that the will cover it

I was told the same thing but the plastics surgeon says no...they will not no matter the reason. I feel discouraged but I am going to be persistent that they send my documentation in.

I called BCN before my surgery in July and the rep said I was fully covered

Really? What surgeries did you ask about and what codes did you give them?

Ok....got Great news!!!! With pics, docs, and letters I got both my stomach and arms cleared for surgery. June 11 th baby!!!! Still need the thighs done but going to keep on documenting issues with PCP and try it again next year. This will be more than enough pain for now. So...yes...BCBSM does if you have the right stuff to prove your case.
