Is it true?

I read on another board that Medicare pays for Panni removal.  Is that true?  Does anyone know for sure? 

I've got my brand new Medicare card and when I'm done losing weight I may need to try it out.

I'd heard the same thing, but I don't know if it's true.  I do know from hearing a plastic surgeon speak at my support group meeting that insurance requires documentation (photos, doctors' notes) that the panni interferes with ambulation or causes skin infections or other problems.
