Florida Medicaid process - help please?

I'm not sure if I am posting in the right place. I am getting worse and worse with my weight and health problems are coming up that I can't do anything about bc I have no insurance.

I'm 25 years old in college full time with no job and no kids. I don't qualify for much, but I can see that people are getting the surgery with Medicaid. Truthfully I don't care which type of WLS I can get, I just need any help there is. My sis had bypass surgery and she went from over 300 to 195 in 2 years but that's her mainstay weight for her 5'11" height.

Anyway, I need help. I don't know what to do. On the Florida website for medicaid/medicare it doesn't really give me much of a clue on what to do. I was hoping to be able to apply online. But isn't Medicaid only to help with specific things? So I'm not sure how to even find out where to go or talk to about help with WLS.

Is there anyone in FL that can help me in the process, what do I need to do first? How do I get on this path to being able to live again?

www.myflorida.com/accessflorida apply for medicaid i am also trying to get surgery and it is really hard lots of dead ends i have medicaid with hmo and from the looks of it the only way it will be paid for is if u are qualified with straight medcaid, cost of share, or medipass. so good look

Okay, I am going through the online application process. I did this before but not for MEdicaid and they denied me because of my mother whom I live with but she doesn't make that much money either.

Anyway, I hope this goes well. I'm not sure what to do with this. Will I have to go talk to them about my problems? So far in the application they haven't asked anything about my medical problem/s.

Did you and anyone else that may reply apply for this specifically for weight loss surgery/related? Or did you already have for something else?

no for no reason i just applied to apply for health insurance cause i had none. it doesnt hurt to reapply and i wasnt asked about any medical problems they approved me but regarding surgery like i said they approved me with an hmo and it is really hard to find surgeons how except any of the hmos has to be straight medcaid...... i think im going to end up being self pay which is very expensive. i dont even know where or how to start im going to try to do some kind of fund raising?

Oh, okay. Well I'm not sure how this will go. I get stipend checks from school for $3,000 but it's gone in like a month paying bills and groceries. I don't know how they will really see my application if it would be a go or not. I am willing to bet not but I can't give up hope.

If they deny me what should I do? Keep applying? How can one self pay, isn't it expensive like thousands?

im still trying to figure that out u can finace it the monthly payment with be over $300 monthly its worth it but i think ill just save up i dont want to pay in installments

Any idea on what I'm to expect now that I have put my application in?
