Kaiser Permanente and plastic surgery

Do any of you know if Kaiser will pay for plastic surgery after the WLS?  Did anyone here ever get approval for plastic surgery through Kaiser?

Hello Kathleen, I am sorry I don't have an answer for you I don't have Kaiser but I wanted to welcome you to the MD forum. Best wishes in your journey.

Hi Kathleen,  I have Kaiser and I also work for them. I had GBS two years ago. Kaiser can be very specific and strict in pre-authorizing plastic surgery. In order to be approved, you must have documented skin conditions that are a direct result of excess skin due to the weight loss from GBS. Skin rashes, excessive body odors skin infections to name a few. This must be documented over a period of about a year before Kaiser will consider approval for plastic surgery.  I hope this information is helpful. If you want more info just drop me a line. coG627
