Question:
I would like to know if anyone has gotten UHC to cover their Panniculectomy.

If any success in getting UHC to cover panniculetomy, are there any tips and/or advise anyone can offer me to get the same results?    — LaTonya T. (posted on June 6, 2005)

UHC covered my tummy tuck. I just had my yearly out of pocket deductible to meet. Good luck!

Hi. Check on the old postings for the tone of tips on documenting "medical necessity." This is what the company looks for when they approve these procedures. Email me if you want the handout I give patients. [email protected].

UHC is covering mine - after 2.5 months of trying. Make sure you get letters of support and documentation from your other MDs (your PCP, your ob/gyn, etc) Dr LoMonaco's advice is good and please check out his VERY informative website. He's excellent - the man is an artist! I recommend him to anyone in Texas/greater Houston area. When I finish losing weight and get to my final touch-ups, I'd go to him with no hesitation. (Gotta pay off the WLS first, though, LOL.) Hang in there & get MD letters. It does help.
