Question:
Is there some way to fight Medicaid so they will cover WLS? .

I called Dr. Ediger's office in Boise, and the person who answered said that in orderI have gone through all of the dieting plans, the excersise videos, etc, and still havent lost the weight--only gained it back. I really think I need this surgery. Please let me know. I am so desperate for help. Thanks.    — blank first name B. (posted on May 10, 2001)

I have Medicare and Medicaid is my secondary...They Paid for my surgery. There is no reason they shouldnt pay for yours. I have read other posts here from other people on medicaid and they were covered. Maybe you need to find a surgeon who accepts MEDICAID. Good luck
