TP1

What extra charge/fee, after the insurance covered portion, did you have to pay for the vertical incision part of the TT, ultimately making it a Fleur De Lis? My surgery is in December. I was told that the vertical incision was not covered, nor was the compression garment. I was also told that I wouldn't be satisfied with a regular TT or panniculectomy because I would still be left with a lot of skin above my belly button (muffin top) and that I had a lot of vertical laxity as well as horizontal. Note: $65 of this charge is going for a surgical bra for a breast reduction in May of 2015. It was also stated by the PS that the two procedures be split up. Has anyone else paid this amount? I'm wondering if this is a normal amount to be charged after my insurance has been applied? Thanks:-)

So full of emotions right now

If your not required by the surgeon to have a sleep study, but later on initiated a study on your own and was told you have very mild sleep apnea and given a choice by the PCP to schedule a titration appt., Or to go head and have the surgery as treatment . Will my surgery be refused or cancelled, if I didn't choose a titration appt? My PCP kept stating it shouldn't be a problem, and she doesn't 't see why I wouldn't be able to go forward with the surgery.

Thanks Miss Mac:-)

Does anyone have BCBS? Did BCBS cover the PATS testing? I currently have BCBSM.

Does anyone know if the PATS testing covered by BCBSM?
