Question:
Has anyone been approved for tummy tuck or panni with BC/BS of Alabama?

If anyone has been approved what were your reasons and how easy/difficult was it?    — BRANDY K. (posted on December 16, 2002)

I work at Medical Center East in Birmingham as Coordinator of Bariatric Surgery. I'm also a patient too. Lots of our patients are now reaching the stage in their journey where they are ready for reconstructive surgery. We are having GREAT success with BCBS of Alabama. Feel free to email me at [email protected] for further info. The panniculectomy and/or the abdominoplasty is AWESOME! I can also give you the name of our surgeon and patient references if you'd like. Merry Christmas!

Yes, they will approve if you meet their requirments! I'm scheduled to have a Tummy Tuck/Hernia repair on Dec. 31st and i have BCBS of AL! I submitted pictures of rashes and of the panni and they approved very quickly.
