I called medicaid and they told me as long as my primary care doctor gave me a referral and it was documented medically necessary by my PCP and weight loss surgeon that they would approve it, however I must go through 6 months of supervised weigh loss and see a nutritionist, a psychiatrist and get lab work done. I already got my referral from my PCP and got my lab work done. Unfortunately, I have not found any bariatric surgeons who would accept share of cost as of yet. I am located in Orlando Fl. Has anyone found a surgeon who takes Medicaid share of cost in Orlando, Fl?
