For those whose insurance covered Plastics --X POST

[chocolate_snaps 3]

I am close to goal and I will need plastics once I am there. I have a pannis that is causing back pain and bad posture. However I dont have the funds to have it removed. I know that some insurers cover plastics following WLS, especially for tummies.

I would like to know how those who've had insurance covered tummy tucks/panni removals proceeded. From the start. Most specifically, how did you prove need? Who compiled the documentation PCP, LB surgeon, Plastic surgeon, Yourself?

Please I need details. Feel free to PM me.

Not the same situation, but my PCP offered to write a letter of medical necessity if I wanted a breast reduction. So, I think I would start w/my PCP and go from there.
