Vocational Rehabilitation Program

Have any of you had your surgeries paid for by your State Vocational Rehabilitation Program? If so do you know how it works? Someone had told me they thought it was similiar to Medicaid. Any info or advice would be great.:help:

Thanks in Advance,

    I read on the ObesityHelp.com site under "insurers" where some were approved by them and got their surgery but I am not sure any lap banders were covered...but I am not sure. Check out that site!

    the state voc rehab program is going through a lot of cut back's thanks to Bush!

    you would have better luck trying through your home state. MA/MEDICARE then you would need, two doctor's to agree your own and another to say it was a medical necesity then there is a fine line...they will do the gastric but not the band in WI,

    Good luck!
