Are health insurers legally mandated to pay for reconstructive surgery post WLS?

Perhaps this is an "urban myth", but I read on another website some time ago that the health insurer who funds WLS is legally mandated to pay for reconstructive surgery to correct the excess skin, etc. resulting from the WLS. It'd be great if there were true and someone could cite the legal reference---if it's an urban myth, it's a nice one :)
