Wellcare (Staywell) Florida Medicaid

[trish57 0]

I just had my consultation yesterday with the surgeon. I have been going to an Registered Dietician through a hospital for 2 months now. I have a bmi of 42 plus have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, degenerative disc disease, copd and asthma. Does anyone have any experience with Staywell Medicaid in Florida and the whole process. When I get customer service on the phone, I don't seem to get anywhere. Just want to know I'm not doing this all for nothing. It's like a 3 hr trip to the surgeon each way.

I don't know if you have this information, its the bariatric policy for Wellcare

Hopefully it will help answer some of your questions. Best of Luck
