Question:
Is there any hope for AETNA PPO will approve me arm/thigh lifts?

I've heard so many people say that the insurance companies rarely approve arm or thigh lifts? I was just wondering if anyone had any success with AETNA PPO for these procedures? I'm definitely feeling like I was before surgery. I'm ready to do whatever I have to do to get these surgeries approved. That includes embellishing the truth a little. Any and all advice would be helpful (including sample letters to the insurance companies). Please help! I'd be forever grateful!    — Janine H. (posted on April 15, 2003)

I understand how you feel about getting ps done -- I am in the same boat and don't have the option of self-pay. I just wanted to point out that the technical term for embellishing on a claim is INSURANCE FRAUD. It is not only seriously illegal, it is also part of the reason why insurance is so expensive to purchase in the first place.
