THEY WILL COVER THE PANNI PART BUT NOT THE TUMMY TUCK UNLESS IT IS PROVED TO BE A MEDICAL NESS.

THAT MEASN WELL DOCUMENTED FOR ALMOST A YEAR OF RASHES AND YEAST INFECTIONS FROM SKIN TO SKIN CONTACT. I WORK FOR THEM IF YOU NEED A COPY OF THE MEDICAL POLICY LET ME KNOW I CAN FAX IT OR MAIL IT TO YOU  VICKI

Sorry, what is the "Panni part"??

THEY COVER THE PANNCULECTOMY THAT IS THE AREA RIGHT BELOW YOUR CHEST OR THE AB AREA. THEY WILL COVER TO HAVE THAT TIGHTENED BUT NOT TO HAVE A TUMMY TUCK UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE THAT IT IS MEDICAL NESS,. TO HAVE A TUCK DONE, THAT IS WITH WELL DOCUMENTED BY A DOCTOR. I HOPE THAT HELPS IF YOU NEED THE MEXD POLICY LET ME KNOW I CAN FAX OR MAIL IT TO YOU  VICK

Thanks!! Sounds crazy to me that they would cover the panni part but not the tummy tuck...just sitting here trying to imagine what it would look like if you just had the panni surgery and not the tummy tuck..lol
