Hi Peggy,

Usually unless you can prove medical necessity insurance of any kind will not pay for plastic surgery. That being said let me make some phone calls for you and I will get back to you via email. If you have any questions please feel free to reach to me anytime

Regards,

Kathy

I had a work injury and needed surgery and my back has been messed up since. Am not sure if comp. will help cover that? and I get the bad rashes from the loose skin folds. and thank you :)

Hi Peggy,

Be sure and take color photos of the rashes you are getting and see a doctor. I was turned down the first time by my husband insurance (this was 14 years ago) but when my Plastic Surgeon sent them the color photos he took of my raw, bloody rashes (I called them open wounds) they changed their minds and covered most of my surgery. Good Luck

Peggy - no matter what PS you see, make sure they have experience working with bariatric patients - our PS needs are definitely different than the average person wanting a TT.

Hi Peggy, your best bet is to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. They can help you figure out what your coverage is, and give you a list of doctors who are "in network" for your plan.

Good luck!
