Does Michigan Medicade Cover Tummy tuck?

Hello, I am 4yrs. Post-op and have recently submitted for approval for a tummy tuck. Unfortunately we do not have the insurance we had when I had the bypass. We have Michigan Medicade "Molina" Michigan has different health plans in their medicade insurances. They have Molina,Community Choice, Health Plan of Michigan and Priority Health. When I went to my Plastic surgeon he said all we needed to have submitted was proof of a 100lb or more weight loss. Well he was wrong. Molina denied me. And I have lost over 200lbs. They want docter documentation showing that I have health problems due to the extra skin. Like Skin ulcers, back problems, you name it. I figured I would have to jump through a few hoops considering that it is medicade. Has anyone out there been approved or have had tummy tuck on any of the michigan medicade health plans, and if so wich ones are easier to get approved. Thanks in Advance. Jo Michalko 375/160/140
