A member asked:
Is there anyway i could get the lap band surgery paid by medicaid?

Depends: This is regulated by the state you live in and their specific regulations. It is a benefit in many states, but unfortunately most bariatric surgeons don't accept patients with medicaid because it doesn't cover their costs.

Yes: If you meet requirements and the state you are in offers it as a covered benefit.
