BC/BS Michigan Approval Tummy / Thighs
Greetings everyone!
I am approved! Yes, for tummy and thighs for excess skin removal. My insurance will pay 100% I truly feel like I am dreaming, in my wildest of dreams I never thought that this would be approved. I don't have a surgery date as of yet, the scheduler is out on Vacation till Monday, so I'll have to wait then.
I just wanted you to know, that depending on how your doctor writes things up, yes your dreams can come true.
I'll be posting more here, as time progresses and I know more. And outcome of surgery and what not.
all my best,

YAY! Congratulations to you. Make sure you take lots of before pics. I'm so happy for you. I think I'm gonna have to fake a rash so I can get mine covered too.

Oh WOW!!! Kimber, I am SO happy for you, hun!! Makes me wish I had BC/BS instead of Priority Health. I can't find ANY criteria in their stuff where they would cover the thigh lift at all. I would love to know what your doc used as medical criteria.
