Medicare, Medicad Approval? Has Anyone Been Approved?

[babygirl_sandy 85]

Hello everyone so today I had my psych and Nutritional evaluation and was told it was going to take two Weeks to get their reports.. Has anyone gotten it sooner? Then they would submit to the insurance company.. Now my question to the nurse was " will Medicare and medicad cover my sleeve surgery and she said "no not yet but there are talks going on" ok so I took and called medicare since its my primary and the operator stated "if the procedures that are on the list are not medically your match then the provider "surgeon" has to call and explain for approval.. Has anyone run into this cause I really am not medically compatible with any other wls other than the sleeve.. ??

I'm from NY and They don't cover it here at all I would check with medicare/medicaid through your state first though and see what's up. Good luck
