Florida Medicaid?

[Need advice! 0]

Hi there, My name is Jen and I am looking into Gastric Banding. Right now, my BMI is in or around 47, and I have several medical issues. I was born with Plantar Fasciitis, both of my feet are affected and being overweight is hell on them. But ontop of it, I was also diagnosed with Diverticulitis a few months ago. The only insuarnce we have is something called "Share of Cost Medicaid", and we are in Florida. Basically, every month they give us a dollar amount and the medical bills must exceed this amount before medicaid will pay for it. I am certain that seeing the surgeon will exhaust this limit and I would have my bills paid for, however before I go jumping into the boat I need to know how this works.

Have any of you ladies/gentlemen had a band done in Florida with the 'Share of cost' medicaid, and how did it work for you?
