  3. so I called my provider and asked about guidelines and coverage and she told me Medicaid would cover WLS 100%.then I asked what the guidelines are to get approved ? and she said what do you mean guidelines? I don't understand and continued saying ma'am as long as your PCP sends a referral saying its a medical necessity then we should have no problem .I couldn't believe what she was saying because it sounded to good to be true(to easy). I said so there's nothing I need to do to help me get approved ? things like 6mth of weight loss documented by my PCP and BMI level etc. she kept saying as long as my PCP sends a referral saying its a medical necessity that should be all you need. for some reason I still don't believe it and I'm calling back tomorrow . So my question is has anyone been approved with just a referral from PCP?
  4. was it hard to get approved in your state? I'm so worried I wont get approved,
  5. has anyone use Indiana Medicaid? And is it hard to get approved through Medicaid?
  6. has anyone used Indiana Medicaid Insurance for WLS? and also is it hard to get approved with Medicaid
  7. I'm on Medicaid ,does anyone know if its hard to get approved through them?
