One thing to remember, some insurances change their plans from time to time. For example, I have tricare and they don't cover the gastric sleeve, but with it being the new year I need to check and see if that has changed. I know tricare will cover skin removal if deemed medically necessary (causing rashes, UTI... etc). They won't cover an augmentation, or the full tummy tuck (muscle tightening) or body lift. You should look at their website and see if you could find anything or maybe give them a call. It wouldn't hurt to get more information for now and when the time comes check to see if anything has changed.
