Today was the day that I would get the chance to talk with a Plastic Surgeon here in Macon, Ga.. This guy was the nicest man you could ever met. He really did get my mind at ease. He answered all my questions without me even having to ask him any question. I have to wait for my insurance companies to approve it.. But I really do hope and pray that everything go very well... The name of the clinic located here in Macon, Ga is called the Image Plastic Surgery Center. And he Doctor's name was Dr. Afolabi-Brown Oladiran A MD.. This guy really did make me feel comfortable...And anyone tell me how Medicare and Tricare 4 life work when it come to approvals for plastic surgery... What will they cover and not cover..

Tricare will approve the panniculectomy but you have to have well documented issues and the approvals seem to be sort of hit and miss.  I am not sure how it will work with Medicare and Tricare for Life.  I do know that Tricare for Life does have some provisions to cover things not covered by Medicare.  But the thing with Tricare is that you have to prove to them that the skin issues are making you ill.  That means going to the doctor and getting prescription medications and showing that this is an on going problem.

That is great. I guess with Medicare there must not be an approval process. So does this
mean pre authorization is not needed for tfl? I hope your surgery goes well. Keep me in the loop and let mr know how it goes.
