I am beginning the process of looking for a surgeon for wls. I have Medically Needy Florida Medicaid. I cannot get any clear answers from them about the requirements for coverage of surgery. Has anyone had surgery with Share of Cost in Florida?

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. Unfortunately, I have not found any bariatric surgeons who would accept share of cost as of yet.
