Does anyone know if Medicaid covers the lapband procedure in ILLINOIS!!?
Question:
Answers:
Yes, Illinois medicaid will pay but you have to have a history of obesity. Try Mercy Hospital in Chicago.
You would have to call the Medicaid office but normally if your doctor says that the procedure is a medical neccesity then the Medicaid will have to pay for it. I just moved from Arizona and it was covered for one of my friends who was on Medicaid.
I imagine that if a doc says you'll die without it, then the state will pay for it, or part of it. dont know, you'll have to contact medicade.
