any experience with Medicare?

i have medical assistance through the state, they do cover WLS, but i was just wondering what steps you had to take? What did your Dr require? Im hoping to have Dr. Thomas Jones at Park Nicollette do mine...

Thats a great question I am not sure, but I am sure someone on here knows.  If not contact the Minnesota Insurance Commission

I know this is an old post and you must have found the answer by now. I have both the same insurances as you. It covered my lapband surgery. But I had to do 6 months of "dieting" with my doc overseeing. It seemed like the longest 6 mo's. That was 3 1/2 years ago now. I am hoping to have revision to RNY. Hoping my doc will know what to say to make it go thru. I have no idea if they cover revision or if they will just say to take out the lapband, then make me gain my weight back to get the RNY. Tracy
