Will insurance pay?

[als74 1]

I have good insurance, and I am sure I can get a breast reduction after I am done losing weight, but what about the rest? How can I get insurance to pay for plastic surgery?

Hi.

Insurance can help, but you must have documented medical problems from the excess skin. By documented I meandoctor visits and prescriptions for skin problems.

You will also need to find a PS willing to go through the insurance process for you, and in many cases you must be prepared for out-of-pocket expenses.

My websites have a downloadable document called "Tips for getting insurance approval" under PATIENT RESOURCES plus another article in the NeWeigh newsletter

you may find helpful.
