i have medicaid "share of cost". that means that they pay for anything over $1110 in one particular month. all i had to do was submit receipts and records showing any copays i paid during the month and that and the surgery fees are deducted from the share of cost. i only have to pay what the balance is. i ended up not having to pay even $1 for my surgery, because i have so many medications and docto copays every month.

Are you having the surgery in MRMC or Ocala Regional ??? Never heard of that Dr' but not saying he is good... I have a friend that has Medicaid and she was asking about the half pay ... 

 

Thanks

Hello! I will be having gastric bypass surgery through medicaid here soon. It has been a very easy process so far. Heres my doctors information:

Dr. Shebani
Accepts medicaid and medicare
352-351-5770
Bariatric and Laparoscopy Center
2820 SE 3rd court, suite 100, Ocala, FL 34471

My process began by having my PCP send a referal to their office and after my file was veiwed by the surgeon and bariatric cordinator, I was sent a folder that included all paper work needed by Dr. Shebani. They requested all prior weight loss attempts and had me bring all records of doctor supervised weight loss. Luckily, I had a 9 month stint with a nutritionist and medicaid accepted it because medicaid requires a 6 month supervised weight loss attempt. I then was given referals to a pshyc evaluation, nutrion evaluation and blood work. After those are handed in and submitted to medicaid, i should have approval in about a week. I then start my 6 week pre-op diet and RNY here i come!

Good luck everyone! It can be done!
