My sister is severely obese and we're looking into weight loss surgery for her. She's covered under a government 'Molina' health scheme. Does this 'Molina Medicaid' type of plan cover weight loss surgery?

In my years, I've seen many people benefit from this coverage. Yes, Molina Medicaid covers it as long as your doctor certifies that your life or health is at risk due to weight.

They do cover it, but they will want to see that you have tried natural methods like diet changes first. Keep a record of all your healthy eating efforts to show them.

Molina Medicaid covers it, but make sure to get all your hormonal tests done first. Thyroid issues can cause weight issues, and they will want to rule out other causes.

Hey, yes they do cover it! Don't stress too much about the cost, just focus on finding a good surgeon who accepts Molina Medicaid and let them handle the rest.

Yes, they do cover it under Medicaid. My daughter went through the process and they required a 6-month doctor-supervised diet program before giving the final green light.
