HI I'm needing some good news .Has anyone had Arkansas medicare ? I did find out they do cover the surgery if it is medically nessurly . But how medically and will i past the test I believe i should but what if there don't? Medicare is my last change . My back pains are so bad some i what to say in bed for ever. It is like i can't do any thing for very long because of the pain which is every day . I have been to DR.Jane is Fort Smith . I'm hopping they call soon . I sent DR.Jane a note . any informantion about ark medicare please share ?

Samantha, could you give a little more information. Do you know you BMI? What other comorbities do you have besides your back? Is your back pain diagnosed? You must have good documentation of failed weight loss attempts for the past 5 years. Dr. Janes might be able to help with the prior authorization for Medicare. Are you covered by any other insurance? Do you mind revealing your age? Give as much information as possible and someone might be able to help.

Samantha, I have a friend who went through medicaid and had her surgery in Feb. of this year. I will contact her and ask her to reply to your message. Good Luck Debbie
