I have Medicaid and I know they will pay for the surgery and I have found a place to take the insurance I just haven't had an appointment were I can ask this question. Is a six month supervised diet required before they will pay for your surgery?

I have several health problems and would greatly benefit from the surgery.

Thank you

It depends on your insurance but since you have medicaid, you will most likely have to have 6 consecutive months of supervised diet. I'm in FL and I have medicaid (Staywell). I had to do the 6 months, psych eval, EKG,bloodwork, 2 nutrition visits, endoscopy, sleep study and barium swallow test. I'm finished with everything and they sent it to Staywell on 12/16. I am waiting to hear if I am approved since I have 5 comorbities: Major depression, GERD, multiple joint pain, migraines and diabetes.
