Question about insurance paying for Hysterectomy & Tummy tuck with one surgery?

Question about insurance paying for Hysterectomy & Tummy tuck with one surgery?

I have United Health care and it wont pay for a tummy tuck unless the extra skin is a health problem.

BUT I just found out I have to have a Hysterectomy, and I have saw on this site some where a women was able to fight for a tummy tuck at the same day she got a Hysterectomy done and the insurance DID pay for it.

Is that person still out there or will any one like to help me out and give me some advice on how this was approached?

Thank you for any help,

You must independently meet the criteria for a panniculectomy to get it covered in that instance. It is need covered in most instances simply because of the other surgery.

On the plus side, insurance coverage of the hysterectomy will cover a good bit of any other charges you might have in re to your hospital stay if you do have to self-pay

I had a hysterectomy and TT on the same day, but my insurance denied the TT.but a lot of my charges were picked up from the hysterectomy so I only had to pay total 5500.00 for DR anesthesia & extra OR time. I also had the muscle tightening that was included I probably could have fought it because of my diabetes & the wound wouldn't heal but I had cervical cancer so I had to get it done fast
