Even if someone did have a TT covered w/ either of those insurance companies they may have different coverage than you do which means approval can be different. In order to find out if it may be covered under your insurance plan you need to go thru your insurance rider that your company purchased. Each company can choose different riders that will include or exclude different things to keep costs minimal. I have United Healthcare and the rider that my company purchased excludes any type of reconstructive surgery due to extreme weight loss including weight loss due to bariatric surgery. Only reconstructive surgery that is covered is breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. So go to your human resources area on your companies intranet or however you do it and read thru the insurance manual. Lucky for me I had my surgery 6 months before my firm changed to UHC and I got it covered w/ Empire Blue Cross after an appeal.
