Try calling Montefiore Hospital Surgery Center, 718-920-5436. Tell them that you had the WLS and you need more info. about getting plastic surgery and that you have medicaid. Desiree is a good person to speak with. Tell her I referred you. Good luck!

ALWAYS call it reconstructive surgery, not plastic surgery :-)

Tracy, you are lucky. I asked a queston along this same line about NYS medicaid and did'nt get any answers. ;) Lucky you! lol I hope they do cover it as I will be seeking it. However I doubt they will.

Medicaid in NC paid my panni, but you have to prove medical necessity. They denied face, arms, and thighs
