Can a Panniculectomy Be Covered Under Insurance if the Excess Skin is a Result of a Disease?

September 1, 2013

I have a lot of excess skin in the abdominal area as a result of the weight in the belly I gained due to Cushing's disease. I carried the weight of a full term pregnant woman for at least 3 years before finally being diagnosed so that the tumor on my Pituitary gland could be removed by a Craniotomy. The Cushing's was controlled and I lost all the weight I gained from it but am left with a lot of hanging flesh . Do you think insurance would cover under these circumstances?
