Has anyone used Medicare as their primary insurance for their surgery? I understand Medicare does not "pre-certify" so what is the process? Does the surgeon still send the file to Medicare?

Thank you!

There is a difference between what a surgeon requires and Medicare approval for WLS. If you are going to a seminar, they are probably sending you paperwork to fill out and turn in that day. Depending on your weight and other factors such as reflux, you may want to consider bypass rather than sleeve.

I went to a seminar last Friday and I now have a folder full of information.
