Plastic Surgery & United Healthcare

I was wondering if any of you have had United Healthcare and had them pay for plastic surgery after you lost your weight. I am meeting with my surgeon for the WLS the 6th of July but want to research the plastic surgery should I need it. Any insight that you could give to me regarding United Healthcare and this process would be greatly appreciated.

Allison I no longer have United Healthcare Insurance, but I can tell you from experience with BCBS that you need to be sure and document ever little rash, bump, ache, etc. And, by documenting I mean a visit to the doctor. After having lost 132 pounds I desperately needed a tummy tuck, breast lift and thigh lift, but because I did not have any of the mentioned symptoms the insurance denied my claim and said that the ps was strictly for cosmetic. I guess I should be thankful that I didn't have any of the symptoms, but then again in order for me to have the ps, I had to borrow the money. I had the tummy tuck and thigh lift done one year ago and once I have it paid in full, I plan on having a breast lift done. Good luck with you wls. Natalie
