Has anybody on the forum had the surgery with public sud insurance? Was it hard to get approved? Do you have any tips?

I meant public aid insurance

I'm on Medicaid in Illinois and had to do 6 months of doctor visits to monitor weight.

After that and some tests they submitted and I got it approved. I had heard it could take a few tries but it went through for me. Good luck.

I was approved on Medicaid in Colorado. Easy requirements and easy approval.

I'm so nervous I have medicaid in NY and I'm praying I get approved

Is that Australian dollars? I think that converts to just under $19,000 US. I am trying for insurance coverage, but if I were self-pay, they quoted me $19,500 US. So just about the same though I'm certain it varies by doctor and state.
