Medical Mutual and Body Lift?

Hi all,

I had my Lap DS 5 months ago and am 90 lbs down.  I have 90 more to lose.  I'll def need skin removal when I'm done.

Anybody had any luck getting Medical Mutal (Supermed plus) to cover plastics?

Any info appreciated!

Thanks, Christy

Here is your catch 22...a lot of insurances WILL COVER BUT FINDING a DOC that will TAKE INSURANCE is another thing. At the time I had MMO and there were over 25 PS docs in network I called all 25 of them in the Dayton/Cincinnati area and NONE of them would take/accept insurance. Then say it's just not enough MONEY for what they do. So here I am all these years later with a lot of extra skin, rashes and ill fitting clothing.  Start saving now a TT runs around 6-15 K a full body lift will be about double. There are people that go south for a lot less but then what happens if you have trouble and need a follow up most docs don't want to deal with someone elses trouble.
Your best bet is to find a NEW doc that is just starting up  and NEED new people to get started they MIGHT take insurance just to get you in the door.
Good Luck,
Robin

Yeah, what Robin said.  My insurance covered my panniculectomy (I ahve enver heard of  insurance covering a full body lift, BTW... many will cover a panniculectomy if you meet the medical necessity criteria,and SOME will cover a TT, but that's about it) but I had a TERRIBLE time finding someone who would do it Dayton/Cincy using the insurance.  I found a surgeon who had just returned to private practice  to do my panni, but now even he will not accept insurance for it.
