PS Question

[Guest guest]

Hi all...I'm coming out of lurk mode to ask a plastic surgery question.

I had TT with muscle repair/hernia repair/panniculectomy 17 months ago, and

I've had lingering pain in the upper abdomen ever since...nothing severe,

mainly bothersome, but sometimes it borders on the very bad. (Only the lower

abdomen was addressed during the surgery.) At an appointment with my GYN

Oncologist last week, he told me that I have diastasis of the upper abdomen and

suggested that I look into having it repaired. I don't have a hernia this

go-round.

Anyway, my question is this...does anyone know if insurance covers muscle

repair alone? I've been to the Anthem website, but I can't find anything. I

have an appointment with the PS in a few weeks to talk about a breast reduction,

but I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row beforehand.

Thanks for any and all information!
