FLORIDA Medicaid Share Of Cost

Has anyone ever been approved for RNY with Florida Medicaid Share of Cost?

Yes Ma'am. I did on Aug 29th, 2012.

I had to have 6 weigh ins in the last 12 mths w/my PCP, a psych eval, EGD and nutrition class. (BMI 40+ or 2 co morbids)

 

So do you think me meeting with a nutritionist will work. I'm sure I have at least 2 or 3 visits with my pcp. How long did it take for you to get approved once you were submitted to the insurance company? Sorry so many questions.

The nutritionist will probably count for your dietician class but not for your weigh ins w/the pcp.

I was submitted to medicaid on Wed, Aug 22, I was approved by Monday, Aug 27 & I had my surgery Weds, Aug 29. So there was 7 days between when I was submitted & when I had my surgery.

My surgeon squeezed me in before the end of the month so we wouldn't have to start over w/the share of cost the next month.

Hi ladies, 

What is EGD?

...Wow! sounds like once you get those 6 weigh-ins done setting up the actual surgery is fairly quick. Congrats LiciaLou looks like you're doing great.
