Medicaid and gastric bypass
It depends on which state you are in. Most medicaid programs require you to be operated on in a Center of Excellence Hospital. The criteria for payment also requires you to have medical problems related to obesity like hypertension, sleep apnea, and diabetes. The third problem is find a doctor that accepts medicaid because medicaid pays so little.
