Question:
Does Medicaid cover Plastic surgery?

I am not sure. I know they cover the WLS. I am on Medicaid, but my surgeon is out of network. I am self paying his fee, which are surprisingly not that much and Medicaid will pay for hospitalization and anesthesia. Since I am self paying I don't need any preauthorization from anyone, other than a cardiologist to give me a letter stating I am clear for surgery. As far as plastic surgery, they might when it is needed as a result of another surgery, like WLS. Check with your local office for info. Good Luck! Joy
