Approval for Tummy Tuck

Ok, I had my paperwork submitted for my tummy tuck by one Plastic Surgeon and it has been approved. Questions is are there any Surgeons in the Houston ara that are willing to work with Insurance. I have seen Two surgeons and they both want you to pay out of pocket first and then they reimburse you what insurance pays?? One of them is willing to work with you on payments but i can't find much information on him and his reviews weren't that great. Can anyone suggest a good surgeon!! One that has great results.

 what insurance do you have?  Was it difficult to get your insurance approval?

I have Blue Cross Blue shield of Illinois. As a correction I recently found out that what they actually cover is a panniculectomy and lipectmy

Sorry, don't know anyone in that area.  My PS worked with my insurance here in NC, though.  Was not hard at all to get approval.  We were shocked it was so quick!
