Medicaid coverage varies from state to state. However, it must cover any medically needed procedure. If you have a condition (other than obesity), they might pay.
No, Medicaid does not cover lap band surgery since it is a treatment for obesity which is clearly excluded. If you were to also have Medicare part A though, you may be covered provided you get the procedure in a hospital.
That depends upon your state Medicaid program and whether you have under Medicare. Generally, bariatric surgery, including LapBand, is covered, if you use a Center for Excellence bariatric facility.
medicaid insurance covers many times Lap Band Surgery but we have to take in consideration that we have to pay for it so its a kind of co-payment.Those from Medicaid never loose any money for people.
