Anyone in Utah had Medicare pay?

I understand that for Medicare to pay for wls, it has to be done at a 'Bariatric Center of Excellence'. Does anyone know of any group that are qualified, under that title in Utah?

Here is the web site on CMS that lists all the currently approved sites for Medicare beneficiaries to gert surgery. http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicareApprovedFacilitie/BSF/list.asp There do not appear to be any facilities in Utah on this list. The list is updated by CMS on a quarterly basis. Jeannine

Hi Paula, First of all do you have Medicaid? Medicaid WILL pay for this surgery and the doctor to call is Dr. Max Cannon in Payson at 801-465-1701. Medicare does not pay for anyone in Utah at this time. Keep me posted. I would like to know how you are doing. I am 54 and weighed in at 371 the first time I got on the scales at Doc's office. This man is awesome and HE has had the surgery himself. Call him, he may be able to help. Sheila [email protected]

EDIT: never mind he isn't practicing anymore.
