Well, often they do both at the same time and essentially it IS the same thing, the only difference being that people with pannuses have more that needs to be removed. Take it from one who knows and has actually had the surgery. If you are thinking of getting it though, it is no picnic but definately worth it.
But, yes, if it is something that is FAR more medically necessary, (and you know what that entails for insurance companies) then they MIGHT cover it.
