Does NC Medicaid cover WLS?

I was just approved for NC medicaid and was wondering if it covered WLS?   I searched serveral sites and some say yes, some say no.

Hi Jenn,

It looks like they may be covering bariatric surgery. I found the following posting on the Lapband forum. You may want to contact some of the members that said that they have information about WLS coverage through NC Medicaid. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/LapBand/4491949/Looking-for-anyone-whos-had-Lap-Band-who-has-NC-Medicaid/

Wishing you all the best,
