Medicaid & (Large) Lipoma removal?

December 4, 2015
Asked By:kaylac22 in Lexington, KY

I have a lipoma on my upper back thigh. I was 13 when I first noticed it but it has grown tremendously over the years. it's the size of a tennis ball, but wider.It doesn't hurt, but it's uncomfortable due to its size. It sticks out quite a bit, which makes it rub against/into my other thigh. Will Medicaid pay for excision(Gen. Surgeon)If not what are my options? *P.S.* Dr says I will have to be put to sleep. That might give you an idea of the severity of this thing. Thanks for all your help!
