You should contact a provider about this. A provider who accepts Medicaid will know whether this procedure is covered.
Sorry no,all i can find is places that dont support medicaid.
If you are considered to have morbid obesity or end-stage renal disease Medicare/Medicaid may pay the full or partial cost of the Lap Band surgery.
Yes Colorado Medicaid will cover the lap band surgery. I called Medicaid a few days ago to ask the same question I was told they will cover the whole thing as long as your doctor states it's medically necessary and the first step is to have your doctor send them the forms and then you have to wait and see if they will approve it or not .Good luck hope this answers you question.
If the lap band breaks the only option is to have surgery.

I think you mean lap band, and you can search medical websites. Lap band can help you lose weight by inserting a rubberband around the top of your stomach.
It's actually called the "lap band" and not band lap. In this process a band is put around the part of the stomach internally to trick the stomach into thinking is smaller and thus fills up faster. http://www.lapband.com/
