@@Rovobay dont blame u ;)

I'm a NALC member but on BCBS ins. I hope you get some good advice for this question because I'm curious too!

I have BCBS Federal and they won't pay for any skin removal. I did have a breast reduction that BCBS paid for, and the surgeon told me I could have a tummy tuck at the same time and just pay the difference out of pocket. It would be cheaper than having it done by itself but I chose not todo so. Somewhere down the line, I WILL have the tummy tuck and I will just have to pay for it out of pocket but that's okay I'm saving up for that. I'm just grateful that insurance paid for WL Surgery and the breast reduction. Oh and I recently had the eye lift surgery that BCBS paid for. I can't ask for much more than that. Good luck to y'all and If you can find a loop hole to get them to pay for it, post it here. So far I've been unsuccessful.
