Your provider will know whether Medicaid covers this procedure.
Medicare and Medicaid will cover the surgery if you are "morbidly obese"; this always requires prior approval.

Medicaid is State Insurance and Medicare is federal. Therefore, it depends on what state you have Medicaid in; however, I doubt that they would. Very few insurance companies do.
New Jersey Medicaid generally does not cover LASIK surgery, as it is considered an elective procedure for vision correction. Medicaid typically covers only medically necessary eye care and treatments, such as cataract surgery or other eye conditions. However, it's best to check directly with New Jersey Medicaid or a healthcare provider for any specifics or potential exceptions.
Whether Medicaid covers gastric bypass surgery depends on the specific state and its Medicaid program. Some states may cover it while others may not.

Bariatric surgery is about 20 thousand with aftercare. Medicaid may pay for some of you cost, but will not likely cover the entire procedure. The surgery must be needed because of other medical conditions besides obesity.

Since you already know that you need surgery, I doubt that you will be able to find coverage to cover it. You could check your state's medicaid rules and see if they can cover the 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.
it depends on the doctors and the hospital where the surgery is going to take place.
