Isn't abdominalplasty surgery considered medically neccessary after losing a lot of

weight? Should I pay a deposit or look for another doctor? I called my doctors office to see about getting an abdominalplasty surgery done at the same time of my hernia repair. Well the lady told me that i may have to pay a deposit. I told I have an hmo and that since I have a hernia i assume that it would be medically neccessary to have it done at the same time of my abdominalplasty. I have united healthcare select. I called the insurance company and they told me that it would be covered if it is medically neccessary. She said all the doctor had to do is call and get it precertified.
