Question:
Oklahoma Medicaid pay for gastric bypass?

Hi Rachel, I live in Alabama and they pay for the wls here. I know that medicaid is medicaid but you just have to see a doctor there that takes it. I am going to tell you that it was hard for me t find a doctor who still takes it. But i did find one and I have found out about other doctors too. So yes I am sure they do if they do here. Mary

I agree with the last post I had medicaid and it paied everything EXCEPT the psyc doc... that here in Kentucky was 150 dollars and that depends on your doc... some of these WLS clinics have a psyc doc on hand and there price is included in the plan just have to get a Doctor to refer you to see a GB Gastric bypass doctor.... good luck and keep us posted....
