Can you tell me how and where should i go to get medicaid to approve for the lap band?

Provider: Your first stop should be with the surgeon. In most cases he or she has an office staff that is used to obtaining insurance authorization for your surgery. If not, call your provider (Medicaid) and just make sure you have the diagnosis code and the CPT code of the procedure you want.
