Has anyone had medicare pay for any part of a Lap-Band surgery. I am a type II diabetic and was wondering if any of you have had any experience with this????

I take it your an Aussie? Medicare will reimberse you some but no a whole heap, if you talk to your doctors receptionist she will be able to tell you for sure :-)

I'm scheduled to leave in 10 MINUTES!

I'm also Type II, Medicare has approved my procedure. Good luck to you on your journey!!

Are you Australian? With all the receipts I took to medicare for reimbursement - I got less than $300 back out of $25 000.

Good luck! You will be in my thoughts and prayers, I am leaving now for my first consultation appointment. I also have Medicare and it is covered for me.
