So, do you think this will fly with my insurance company?

I getting close to goal and sooooooo need a tummy tuck.

My insurance words it like this regarding plastic surgery.  They will pay for it if you've had an accident or need it due to disease.

Well, the AMA has declared obesity as a disease.

Do you think that my request will make it through?

Thanks for any opinions!

 

Many insurance companies will cover it if you have trouble with skin rashes or infections between the folds of the loose skin especially since the rise of staph and mersa infections.

Most insurances that cover skin reconstruction after WLS only cover removal....the muscle tightening that is involved in a tummy tuck is not covered.  Many plastic surgeons will let you pay the difference.
