Kentucky Medicaid

Hi all! I'm 36 and have a BMI of 39. I have completed the 6 months of dr visits. And am now awaiting approval. I have Ky Passport and wondered if anyone had the same and how long that process takes for approval. Thanks!

    I have WellCare as well. Did you have to do 6 months of supervised diet with your doctor to get approved, or anything like it? TIA

    Today was my 7th appt, I have wellcare of Ky. My surgery is scheduled for Oct 24th. I've done everything required; psych evaluation, nutrition appts, had an endoscopy and my bmi is over 40. Have chronic problems too. Thyroid, back pain etc.

    They are submitting my stuff this week. I assume they are used to Medicaid and know what to do. I'm still worried I'll be denied. Wednesday is all my preoperative testing.

    I too have Wellcare, I am just now considering having gastric sleeve, Im curious about the process they will send me through. I am diabetic, my knees and ankles cause me so much pain I can barely move, I refuse their pain pills. I am 53 with a BMI of over 40. I am wondering what kind of psychological questions they ask..and what causes them to deny someone. Any info you can give would be wonderful..
