What insurance company do you have and I think that is fantastic? Mine came out of pocket.

If you have documentation from your doctor, then it sounds like you could be in luck. Keep us posted!!

I should have moved to Texas. Good for you. Good luck with your research for plastics.

My insurance is BCBS TX also - although I live in Washington State! I was told the panni would be covered if "deemed medically necessary" and I got word from my surgeons office it was deemed necessary. I'm just waiting to find out how much out of pocket I'll have to pay. I also have another consult scheduled for a second opinion so I have apples to apples comparison. It will depend on the actual plan you have as to how much and what the insurance deems necessary - usually my idea and theirs don't coincide. I want to only go under the knife one time for this... LOL!
