Body Magic Covered By Insurance - Woo Hoo!!!
Basically it's a super effective shaping garment that works wonders to redistribute excess skin and fat especially in the mid section.
Now, the manufacturers claim it helps you lose weight because it has a super thick panel of this magical material in the tummy area and it burns belly fat, but we all know that's a bunch of bull. If we could wear a magical undergarment and be skinny, none of us would have had to pursue wls, right?
So, I just take it for what it is, a great body shaper. And believe me, it DOES work magic shaping you.
Now, the Body Magic retails around $150-170 which puts it out of reach for many of us. It just seems a bit pricey for my budget for a girdle.
OK, so here's the good news.... I was at a chiropractor appointment yesterday, and Dr. Evans mentioned to me the Body Magic would be covered by Cigna as durable medical equipment. It is submitted as a device to help with back pain caused by my excess skin *wink-wink*.
I was like whatever, if you can get me this thing at a 15% co-pay, order it asap!
But seriously, I know many of my surgery sisters and brothers really are suffering from a debilitating amount of excess tummy skin and either don't care to have plastics or can't afford it right now.
I thought it was worth mentioning to you guys.
Now, I assume you need to get this ordered by a physician to make the insurance process run more smoothly. Dr. Evans mentioned you do need to come in for a consult to evaluate your condition, measure you, and to teach you how to properly use the "medical device" in order for insurance to cover it.
I am not sure if any other physicians in the area sell body magic, but here is Dr. Evan's info if you're interested:

If you are still losing, insurance will only cover 1 per year. It is adjustable, so you can order it snug and adjust it as you lose more.

I also disovered our insurance covers up to 12 masage visits per year. I already had my 1st session, and I will definitely be taking advantage of the remaining 11 by December 31.
Dr. Evans also has a massage therapist in her office.
***Mention you were referred by Obesity Help and Dr. Evans will waive any co-pay your insurance charges. You'll just have to pay the co-pay for the Body Magic!

I have the HRA plan. Why don't you call Dr. Evans and ask her how she is billing for the massages. I'm not sure, but she advised me I have 12 visits per year covered. I am definitely taking advantage of every one between now and Dec 31.
