Does anyone know codes to get Skin Removal Covered?

Beatmon

I have lots of fatty, folding skin left under my arms. Drives me crazy not just emotionally but physically also.

Does anyone know the magic codes that insurance will pay for removal?

My PS said they are not very successful in getting this paid for.

Thanks

This is a great question! Hopefully there will be some responses because I’m curious as well.

Does your PS's office have the billing code? Or your SO's? Since they're who would bill it, I would think they'd have the code.

Is all about which code works best, anyone that has had success and could share that code would be more helpful. Seems crazy that the Drs office wouldn’t have figured all of those type of things out but they haven’t unfortunately.

My PS told me that however she tries she Is unable to get it paid for. She suggested I ask my buds if anyone had any secrets to share.

I have. A bunch of extra skin under my arm

I’ll ask my PS when I see him in a few weeks. I have a small fold but I was wondering if fat grafting my help plump it up. I can feel my ribs because so much tissue was taken. I’ll let you know if I find out if they have any luck with getting insurance to pay for the removal though.
