has anyone had a lapband to sleeve revision using Medicaid insurance? Did they pay for it? and how much of a co pay did you have if any?

My advice would be that you contact Medicaid Client Services and inquire about your coverage. Get a consultation from a Surgeon that accepts Medicaid, he or she will be the one to help you get approval based on medical need. Good Luck.

My family member said senior dimension medicare pays fully and not the red, white and blue card at this time.

Hmmm. I know its limited coverage but its different for everyone. Some have copays and some don't. Can you call your caseworker and ask?

I didn't have a revision, but I got the sleeve through Medicaid. Medicaid will cover 1 bariatric surgery per lifetime, unless it is medically necessary that you need another (band slippage, etc.). Not sure if its different in each state, but I'm in NY
