Surgeons who will do a Panni covered by OHIP in London area?
Anyone have success in getting the panni covered in London Ontario area?
My family doctor says OHIP does not cover but I know this is not correct as I have seen many people get this covered. But because she says she doesn;t know who would then, I need to give her a name to refer me to.
Thanks for your help!

Dr. Matic at the London Plastic surgery does OHIP covered plastic surgery through the hospital. Hopefully your doctor can get you referred.
As far as I know he has been on stoppage for a considerable length of time?

panniculectomy is 100% covered by OHIP. It's a lot of paperwork so it sounds to me like your doc doesnt want to do the work for you. I'd get another opinion/doctor if yours wont look into it for you. I work as a nurse in a hospital that provides this service and I have NEVER come across a patient who has paid out of pocket. It is your doctors job to look into finding someone to do this for you, it's not your job to look for him/her. I really hope it all works out for you and you are able to get your surgery
