I am heart broken and confused. I applied for medicaid in mid August. They approved and sent me cards. I contacted Dr. Umbach for WLS. At that time, I had medicaid HMO. Dr. Umbach's office called for benefits and was told only needed 6 months medical weight loss. In September I got a notice stating that I needed to pick a group. So I chose amerigroup. So come January when Dr. Umbach's office was updating everyone's file then said Amerigroup's criteria is different: 2-3 years supervised medical weight loss. I still have medicaid. Why the different criteria?? I had 2 more visits to go to meet the 6 month requirement. I am physically ill hearing about this. Any suggestions??? I am devestated.

I am. I could kick myself for not having kept detailed records of all the diets I have attempted in the past few years. That would have helped big time. I am going ahead as planned anyways. I did the nutrition class Thursday. I can't believe they charge $100 for that. I have gotten WAY MORE info from all you guys here. Geesh!! LOL. I am gonna push for Dr. Umbach to submit for approval. I have major back problems. I am not sure, physically, if I can go another 2 years. And WLS is cheaper than spinal surgery.
