Hi all. wondering if anyone has BCBS Michigan PPO and has had success getting coverage for plastics. Back when I started my wls journey in 2008 or so I think the only requirement was 100 pounds lost and maintained for six months. I called the insurance company today and they told me TT is covered at 80%. If I get them to cover I'll probably be out of pocket about $1,500.00 for the TT. The problem is that the insurance rep didn't really seem able to tell me what the current requirements for TT for WLS patients are. Panni is not covered at all, go figure. My boobs are also looking like a pair of gym socks and my thighs are hanging a bit so hoping I can do something there too. I'm almost at the 100 pound mark so I am just starting to look into this as a possibility in another year or so. Any advice is appreciated.

I have the same insurance. I'm just starting my journey (5 days post op). But I am curious. Let me know what you find out. Ask them to send it to you in writing. Usually the agent will give you clear cut answers.
