Panniculectomy and insurance question. Will I qualify if my skin hangs over the pubic area?

Asked By:CherishCheyenne in Pennsylvania, PA

I'm looking into excess skin removal after significant weight loss. I have Aetna insurance, and one of the qualifications that needs to be met for panniculectomy coverage is that the skin hangs "below level of pubis". My question is, how far does that mean? Would you qualify if your skin hung over the public area at all? Or does it have to be covering it 100%?
