Revision Gastric Bypass through Medicare/Medicaid

Checking to see if anyone has had this procedure using theses two. If so, what was your time process of getting approved, and if any issues, what were they? Thanks

I had band removal and revision to bypass in 2015. I had traditional Medicare and a Medicare supplement policy. I saw my surgeon in the middle of June and had all the requirements met and surgery scheduled by the end of July. Hope this helps.

It does help!! Thank you!

Hello how are I just had my surgery 4/24/17 and with medicaid the biggest thing is that you have to see a nutritionist for 6-7 months before the surgeon can summit for approval. Also in the mean time you have to do all the appts. with the specialists. This is in connecticut I am not certain on other states but I am assuming is similar.

Hi, and thanks for response. I'm seeing a nutritionist and have had upper GI done. My appointment with surgeon is on the 11th, last appt with nutritionist s same day. They have not said anything about any other specialists. I reside in Alabama, surgeon is in Atlanta Ga. Thank you for your response. By the way, which revision procedure did you have done?
