DOES ANY MEDICAID PROGRAM In New Mexico cover Lap Band surgery

Hi to all! I was hoping someone could help me.

Is there a Medicaid program in New Mexico that pays for the Lap Band Surgery (i.e., Lovelace, Molina, BCBS, Presbyterian)? If anyone knows ...???

God Bless!

I just went to the Molina website and thought I would post what I found for others interested.

So apparently there are not any Salud! programs in New Mexico covering bariatric surgery. I'm bummed out to say the least. Maybe there will be some changes in the future and they will add it back.
