Does anyone know if insurance will cover panni’s? If so, what would be reasons to qualify?

It depends on your insurance. What I've heard is you need to be around 30 BMI, have skin below the public bone, and have maintained for over a year. Some of them need a record of having rashes under the skin that aren't treatable. You just need to check with your particular provider.

Each insurance company is different. @fruitandveggies is correct on the basic criteria for most. On the insurance company site, search for criteria for panniculectomy.

Once I did that, I printed and took to my pain management doctor who wrote a referral that touched on all necessary criteria.

Once you print it, take it to whatever doctor(s) that have been treating issues caused by your pannis.

I also included a letter from me, stating how much weight I lost, how exercise is crucial to maintenance, the co-morbidities that were resolved with weight loss as well as how the pannis impedes me.

Best of luck!

Each plan is different. In fact with my mines through my job, I do not have requirements for weight but I must keep a stable weight or lose More weight after my 1 year post op for 6 months.
