Panni Consult
WORTH IT
Super easy process. I was nervous but Dr. Feldman and staff are very friendly. I didn't feel rushed thought the consult and he answered all of my questions. Now I just have to wait for my insurance...

Which insurance?
Blue Cross Idaho
Thank you, I am trying to appeal my denial currently with United Health Care. Please give us an update on whether you are able to get approved, good luck!
They didn't... it's not the Docs fault. It was hidden in my plan that it isn't covered. Like, they had to send me a form that wasn't with my original insurance packet. So I'm paying out of pocket. Good luck!
I would try and fight that and at the very least submit at least one appeal. Insurance companies automatically deny everything often you won't get approved unless you appeal at least once.
I was told the same thing by UnitedHealthcare but then I found a document online that said it is covered for specific reasons.
Do some research search Google four panniculectomy and blue Cross and see what you find, you might find something that's useful.

Aspirus arise
Some insurance may cover it only if it’s medical necessary. Your doctor gotta write you approval letter says it’s medical necessary with the right documents.
What are the right documents
I need my insurance to cover it. I’ve need one for 30 years
I hope they can! I seem to be the odd one whose insurance won't lol
I’m switching to United health car. Will they cover it.

Happy to hear about the good consultation! Was it virtual or in-person?
Please keep us updated on your insurance approval and next steps!
