anyone whose insurance covered brachioplasty???

I am about to consult with the plastic surgeon.  If anyone got their brachioplasty and/or mastopexy covered, do you mind sharing what criteria was given to get it approved??  I also need an abdominoplasty, but I don't think that will be much of a problem with the medical necessity.

My TT, Brachioplasty and Mastopexy have all been approved by my insurance company.

I had no skin issues at all.

But I have lost 167 pounds and have alot of extra skin and stuff hanging around. It does cause me discomfort but I have no rashes or anything like that.

At my first plastics appt they took about 25 pics of me wearing nothing but a paper thong...submitted to BCBS and I was approved for all in a few weeks...all deemed medically necessary.

(even my surgeon was shocked at the approval of the arms so quickly!)

But I tell ya...the pics speak volumes. I think I look disfigured...I really do.

Anyway...belly goes first! This Monday!!
Breasts and arms will follow in Dec.

Good luck on your journey!

Congratulations, and I wish you all the best with your surgeries.  Hopefully, I can have the same luck with my insurance.  Appreciate your response.

I am in FT WORTH, how close is your DR?  I do think I am having lower back, mid back,neck pain and do suffer at least once a month from rash,,, from all the  skin and weight loss...it's a pain !! LOL 

Any suggestions ??

My insurance didn't cover either procedure but my doctor wrote a letter that it was a medical necessity and I was able to write off the cost on my taxes.
