Thread: i want to know if the lapband surdery would be coverd by medcaid?

i know that medcare does

I doubt it, but there should be a 1-800 number on the back of your medicaid card. Just give them a call.

the only way medicaid will cover a weight losing operation is if it is causing very serious illness and is medically necessary---go on a diabetic diet---i lost 30 pounds after i became diabetic and kept it off

Probably not.
I didn't think medicare would either.

It depends on where you live
check out the link below that explains it a bit more....
so if you need it I think you should check into it closely...as some of the program administrators might give you the same replies as EVERYone else did on here...(they dont know so they guess wrong)
Best of luck to you!
