I’ve never understood why so many insurance companies are willing to provide coverage for weight-loss surgery, but not for the skin removal after the surgery. Both are genuine medical needs, so why aren’t both approved?
Why cover WLS but not skin removal?

I don’t get it, either. But then again, I don’t get why insurance companies do most of the things they do. Maybe they don’t see skin removal as a necessity? Excess weight leads to a lot of health issues, so maybe that’s why they’re willing to cover the weight-loss surgery and not the skin removal.

I believe that skin removal is not always a medical issue. Mostly it is a cosmetic surgery. But I believe some insurance companies do cover skin removal if there is a true medical issue with the excess skin.
Because it’s is still elective. U can usually get Pannisculectomy done. There are also lawyers in states that can get it pushed thru with privatized Health, not medicare, no Iowa, TN or Az however. To get the Pannis removed, you need to usually have a problem with skin healing/open wound and fungal growth.
