Hey all, I'm new. Long story short I just got told by my would've been surgeon's office (Dr. Weiss at CBH) that as of January 1st 2014, KY Medicaid no longer covers bariatric surgery. I was so close to finally getting something done, but the very day my insurance went active was the very day they stopped covering what I needed it for in the first place. Oh well, that's life eh? I guess they'd rather spend that money on my future heart attack and stroke treatments.
Anyway just thought I would stop by and pass along the information. I hadn't read about this anywhere else on the web, so I thought there might be others who need to know.
Regards.
