 I currently have Anthem blue medicare (a medicare HMO) along with a secondary of medicaid.  I am seriously in need of skin removal due to yeast infections and open sores.  Anyone that can point me in the right direction i would appreciate.
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, in the Dayton/ Northern Cincy area at least, finding a plastic surgeon who will accept insurance for a panniculectomy is extremely difficult.  Even if you meet the insurance qualifications for "medically necessary", the surgeons won't even submit it for insurance approval (they claim it is cosmetic only) because they do not want to accept the small amount of payment from insurance.   Even if the surgeon is part of the HMO/PPO.  How they can get away with ti is beyond me.

I do not know whether she takes your particular insurance, but the only person I know who accepts ANY insurance for that surgery is Dr Eslami in Dayton.  Her office is next to Kettering Hospital.  The surgeon who did mine no longer accepts insurance for it.
