Medicaid DS Question
I'm in KY and have Medicaid. There is only ONE surgeon in the state that I am able to find that does the DS. According to her nurse, she only does DS on patients with a BMI or 50 or higher. Mine is 43. Sigh.
I cannot use Medicaid outside my state.
Does anyone know of another DS doctor that accepts KY Medicaid?

Sorry I can't help with your question. ..but my suggestion would be to talk directly to the surgeon & express your situation & also explain why the DS is your preferred wls. Hopefully an exception could be made.....good luck
