Good luck to you! It looks like I will have to put my surgery off until January. Again. But this time it just might happen.
There are seven days in a week and "some day" is not one of them.
Oh! Thank you so much! This gives me some hope, as I was looking through cash pay options and getting depressed.
I got tired of waiting for my surgeon's office to get back to me about it, since the new guidelines went into effect on the first of April. Here is a link to the PDF they sent me. It has the requirements.

I went for a consult in Feb and I was basically told it wasn't approved, but when it is and changes go into effect I could try again. They said it may be sometime within a year, and they may have stricter guidelines like PEIA insurance.

Hello West Virginia!!! Hope all is well with everyone!!!
Does anyone know when the new requirements for bariatric surgery go into effect for WV medicaid? My surgeon said that medicaid is not approving any new bariatric surgeries until it does, and they seem to have no idea when it will be. My pre-op testing is only good for six months, and I only have three months of that time left. I'm getting concerned that they won't approve my surgery in time.

Hi Melody,
I'm in Huntington, so not very near you. I did want to at least respond to our post.
