Medicare question

Has anyone with Medicare had the bypass surgery? If so, will you PM me. Thanks

Hi Linda,

I have not had Medicare pay for RNY but I can share with you it's easier to get Medicare to pay for weight loss surgery than Medicaid. They usually will pay as long as you can prove medical necessity.

Good Luck and let us know if we can help further

It will also be affected by whether you have straight up Part A & B Medicare or if you have a Medicare Advantage plan or a supplement. It really depends on the specific policy language.
