Hello, I just received notice that my Medicaid application was approved. I live in GA. Will they approve gastric sleeve surgery. Is the wait time 6 months like other insurances? Thanks!

I am on my husband's BCBS Georgia insurance which is a State Health Benefit plan. I called and was told that they do not cover surgery. What are my other options? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Hello I am new to this forum. After research and thought, I was to get the Gastric Sleeve. I have 3 friends that have had major success with it. I am on my husband's insurance from his job with is BCBS of Georgia. I looked on our online account and I cannot find anywhere if it says that our particular plan covers weight loss surgery. Our card is the Bronze plan. Its says Blue Open Access POS and a little box to the side says PPO. Can anyone tell me please? Thanks in advance and I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Thanks!!
