Has anyone found out anything as to the Medicare approval date for the sleeve gastrectomy? I am new to this forum but not to obesity. I want this surgery so bad as so many people do!

Marcia, Could you please send me the link again. It would not open for me. Your message made my heart flutter as this is better news than I had imagined. Look forward to your response. Patty I heard from Medicare and they are reviewing approval of the Sleeve Gastrectomy. The policy is open and they are accepting public comments. The link is: www.cms.medicare-covergae-database/details/nca-details.aspx?NCAld+258&ver=2&NcaName+Bariatric+Surgery+for+the+Treatment+of+Morbid+Obesity+(2nd_+Recon)&bc=ACAAAAAAAAAA Please view the site and let's get some support going!

Actually, not confusing at all. I do have a secondary insurance with federal gov't (GEHA). I have the same diagnoses as yours (but a few more)!. I will check on the secondary tomorrow. Thank you so much for the info and response. Stay well.
