Approval chances for panniculectomy? (Photo)

From my experience, insurance plans typically require specific criteria for panniculectomy approval. These criteria often include photographic documentation demonstrating that the redundant abdominal skin extends to or below the level of the symphysis pubis. Furthermore, evidence of chronic or recurrent skin infections or irritation within the abdominal fold, despite conservative management, is usually necessary. Finally, documentation of functional impairment resulting from the pannus, such as hygiene difficulties, is generally required.
