The cost of surgical procedures for obesity treatment and the removal of any excess skin as a result of the treatment is an eligible medical expense.
Note: A health care professional must provide evidence of medical necessity for the cost of excess skin removal that is not in connection with an obesity treatment to be an eligible medical expense. Include evidence of medical necessity by providing a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) that specifically identifies the recommendation and expense is for treatment of a medical condition with the request for reimbursement.
