I had my plastic surgeon in Kingston send a request in to OHIP and it got approved.  It was sent Jan 2015 and I got word Nov/Dec 2015.  I have my panni surgery on Feb 9th.  It may have gotten approved because I had breast cancer before surgery.  Not sure, but I am happy about it.  Good luck to you!

thanks for your help hope your are better getting healthier everyday thank again have a great day

Hi There, Just to let you know I had skin removal (grade 3 pannus)  & breast reduction covered by OHIP in January 2014 done by a plastic surgeon in the GTA.  It is available to those who qualify but must be pre approved in advance.  You need to find a plastic surgeon who is willing to take the time and summit to OHIP on your behalf. Good Luck

p.s. nothing against general surgeons but I would much rather go though a plastic surgeon for this kind a procedure.
