Question:
Has Anyone had Oregon Health Plan (medicaid) pay for Roux-en-Y?

Has anyone had OHP pay for obesity surgery? Any information would be greatly appreciated!    — --Dawn-- (posted on October 28, 2000)

I would like to add that I talked with a very nice lady in billing at OHSU. She told me that they have gotten OHP to pay for the bypass operation. She didn't specify which type of operation just that some people have successfully had it done. I'm going to try and get Dr. Welker at OHSU to perform my surgery. Right now, I'm just working on getting a bunch of co-morbidities documented.
