Panniculectomy and insurance: Will health first Medicaid pay for skin removal? (Photo)

Beauty199292
Hello doctors! I've lost over 84 pounds and I've kept it off for 8 years. I have excess skin on my abdomen and I don't have any children I'm in great shape and I'm healthy but in my abdomen area, over the years the excess skin has been causing me major health issues, rashing infections, odor problems. Will health first Medicaid pay for skin removal? Or a panniculectomy? Which doctors will be willing to go through my insurance?
