Belly button yeast.......

Has anyone had a TT approval through thier insurance because of recurrent belly button yeast infections alone?  My panni doesn't come to my pubic bone so my ins would never cover it.  My surgeon believes he could get me approval for a TT if I have recurrent yeast infections even if only in my belly button.  I'm curious if they need to be severe yeast infections or mild ones since I don't exactly want to be walking around with a treatable infection for appearances only........lol Did you have to have a certain amout of reoccurance before ins would even consider a TT???  Just a few basic questions.......
Thanx!

I certainly don't want to wait for an infection to become severe as there are many other problems that could be associated with it.  How much documentation?  10, 20, 30 occurances?  I'm just trying to find out if it is worth the additional cost to see my PCP for documentation purposes.  Basically how likely is it to get ins approval with this problem alone?  I don't want to get my hopes up for something that is pretty much an impossibility.  Thanks for your input!

How much and what kind of documentation is something your insurance carrier can tell you.

To some extent, even if you provide the documentation they want you may not know if it's covered until they review your case.
