indiana medicaid

I'm wondering how long it takes to get a medicaid approval? I have Dr huse. Any info bout the process would be appreciated. Thank you

As long as you have done the 6 months supervised weight loss, and have all of your records including 5 year weight history, I was approved in 2 days.

I have Dr. Huse as well. I just spoke to Jennifer in his office and she sent my stuff in yesterday. Has yours been submitted yet? I'm wondering how soon too. They say 2-4 wks.

it has been taking them forever to even look over my criteria. been waiting 3 weeks just for that. this is at the dr.s office. did they take forever with you too"? concidering switching doctors because i feel like at this rate ill b waiting years for a simple question to b answered let alone surgery....

Actually I have had just the opposite experience. Have you gone to the initial meeting where you met with the surgeon afterwards? I did that June 5th. I took what paperwork I had with me and I called them later that week. They said they didn't have the file yet so I called the first part of the next week. I guess I bugged them right off enough they knew I wasn't going to stop. I had to do the drug test and that was all. So as of the 18th my paperwork was submitted to medicaid. Just waiting to hear now. You should call his office and ask for Jennifer specifically she does all that. And keep calling till you speak with her. Express your frustration in a calm manner and I'm sure she will do all she can to help the process along for you. Keep your chin up!
