Question:
Any NEW info on Texas Medicaid and approval?

Please if anyone has any new information on getting medicaid to approve (and only medicaid) weight loss surgery in Texas I would love to hear about it. If so please give me the name of Doctor that will take Medicaid. Thank You Karen Daly    — docqueenie (posted on October 11, 2004)

I have a friend who had bypass done in Jan of this year on medicaid with Dr. Nowzaradan in Houston and has been real happy with the results, I was told that Medicaid will approve the problems are they are very slow to pay and it is the hospitals more than the Drs. My friend had to appeal to the hospital for his. And Medicaid will only approve an OPEN procedure. Nancy
