Swing those chickens-- BC BS has my appeal letter now!
42 pages of photos and medical records, and pleading on bended knee.
I don't have a tremendous load of confidence I can win this-- my plastics office originally coded the breast lift as a mastopexy but in my case it'd be much smarter to have coded it as an Excess Skin Removal-- unfortunately my doc very rarely gets anywhere with insurance so they're not gung ho about it even on their best day. I gave the appeal the best shot I could.
I am a school teacher, not a baroness-- and have paid out of pocket something like $24k this year. I cannot afford to finish the job and remove the redundant skin from my backside without getting some cash back from this appeal --so think some positive thoughts!
