Medicad Will Cover Lapband
Quote From: bettyschildMedicaid does not pay for lapband surgery but will pay for other types of gastric bypass surgery. You need to seek advice of her MD to see what you need to do to qualify. In the long run, your mother needs to want this for herself as it is not an easy or quick solution. I read your comments about Medicad not covering the Lapband procedure, and wanted to let you know that in most states, they will cover the surgery now. It took them a couple of years to figure out the cost is about half of the normal gastric surgery, so now they will cover it.
