It depends on your situation and what state that you live in. I live in North Carolina and they paid for my Mom to have hers taken out. Good luck and God Bless:)
Medicare and Medicaid will cover the surgery if you are "morbidly obese"; this always requires prior approval.
No. Neither Medicare nor Medicaid pay for elective cosmetic surgery procedures, like liposuction.
Yes Medicaid does pay for scar removal. I was in a very bad car accident. and I've had medicaid pay for the last 5 years of my plastic surgery. Some of it may be considered cosmetic. but I have alot of trauma to my face and neck. so Medicaid does pay for it.
There is one hospital per general region that does allow medicaid to pay for it. Such as U of I at Chicago Hospital in that region.
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.

Medicaid typically covers a significant portion of the costs associated with hip replacement surgery, often ranging from 50% to 100%, depending on the state's specific Medicaid program and the patient's eligibility. The exact percentage can vary based on factors such as the patient's income, the type of surgery, and the healthcare provider's agreements with Medicaid. It's important for patients to check with their state Medicaid office for precise coverage details.
Read the policy. If you cannot figure it out, call the local medicaid office and ask.
Medicare only pays for a pair of glasses or contacts after a cataract surgery
No!! BTW, They don't pay for breast augmentation either! If you're in prison they may pay for Sex Reassignment Surgery!
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.
No, you do not have to pay back Medicaid if you get a job.
