Cigna SHBP Covers Plastics
All of these need letter of medical necessity. Same as the wls...
Also, the consult is billed as a specialist visit and does not require any special insurance approval. So, I definitely will be going for some consults if for nothing else just to educate myself on what's availabe and the costs. That way, even if I do have to go out of the coutry for PS I will have something to compare things to.
She didn't make it seem easy, but she didn't say absolutely NO either...
Now, I'm not sure how much of a fight I'll have to put up, but I really think I'd like a breast lift and tummy tuck. So, my game plan is to make some dermo appts to start documenting things.
I think if enough of us try for plastics, they'll be more likely to cover it.
I would be ok not having the reconstructive procedures, but on the outside it's like everything's slim and cute, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I still see remenants of my fat girl body. I think that's why it's so hard to believe when someone says you look so skinny. Underneath it all, I still have my pre-op curves.
If anyone else has had any shbp plastics experiences, please share.
Well off to round 2 for me.
As my girl Ruby put it " First you have fat, then loose skin, then scars" (from plastics)....
This really never ends, and you really never are perfect.
