Question:
Has anyone been approved with illinois medicaid?

I want to know how hard it is to get approval? What kind of co-morbities do you have to have? Any info would be appreciated.....    — [Anonymous] (posted on March 26, 2001)

Hi, Iam sure that Illinois Medicaid does pay for the surgery because my friend has medicaid and she has already had the surgery done. Ialso have medicaid and the surgeon whos going to do my surgery also accepts medicaid, I'm not sure about my girlfriends morbidities other than a very high bmi but I am diabetic and my bmi is 52 so that was enough for me to get approved. Hope this helps.
