Question:
I was denied surgery on upper arms by BCBS of Alabama.

I plan to appeal. I am no longer able to shave arm pits by myself. I have so my wrinkles under my arms that it is not only visibly digusting but I have ingrown hair and a loss of the ability to shave without help from my husband. Does anyone have any suggestions to help override my denial? Thank you, Amy Perdue    — Amy P. (posted on December 15, 2003)

My only suggestion is to send in pics.

I agree, send in pictures and document any rashes and even everytime you need help with hygene! BCBS will almost pay for a tt 100% of the time, but anything else, forget it without a fight. I was approved for my tt and am now going to appeal for my thigh lift. I know what you are going through, so good luck to you!
