Question:
Louisiana Medicaid!

Hey everybody! I am asking this question for my sister who is in the process of insurance approval for WLS. She is a medicaid recipient and found out that her paperwork was submitted just yesterday to LA Medicaid. She called the 1-800 number for medicaid and entered her information into the automated system. She called the doctors office and found out the request dates for the surgery. She then called the system and it said that she has eligibility for 8 days. To me, this means that the request was recceived, and it sounds (to me)like an approval. I know this is a bit impatient, but has anyone ever done this before, and if so, is this an approval? She will be calling tomorrow to talk to a live person, but her nerves (and mine too) just can't wait until tomorrow. Any responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!    — Wendie G.
