Newbie here! Oregon

Hello! I have my first surgery consult April 24th. I have Medicare, and heard they don't deny as long as you meet the criteria. My bmi is 68, and currently I'm 472lbs and counting down from 483lbs.

    Yes, Medicare does not deny. Since I am on disability, I have Medicare and used it to cover my surgery. The document, NCD 100.1, will provide you with the specific requirements for Bariatric Surgery. These will not vary from region to region as an NCD means National Coverage Determination.
