Some states have mandatory coverage. Colorado and Oklahoma are 2 that do. Kentucky requires that they cover cochlear implants. You'll find links to those laws here: http://www.listen-up.org/haidfund.htm If any other states do, I would welcome the information. I do know that I've heard from a number of folks who are working towards this. Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2000 Report Share Posted March 15, 2000 Welcome to the list Lea!!! I think its a good idea to have to go to a support group meeting prior to surgery so you get a good expectation (not to mention real excited lol) about what the surgeon is all about. Thats great you've already lost 15 lbs prior to surgery. Good luck with the g/b u/s and uppergi. June is coming up fast .. I " ll be one year post op on June 22 .. I cant believe it! Looking forward to getting to know you better. Are you in Northern NH? I live in Southern Nh. Lyssa New member Hello,I just joined this group and thouth I would give everyone a littleintroduction. I am 3o yrs old, weigh 286 and have a BMI of 60. Ihave been big all my life and I know that wls will help me outimmensely. I will be having my surgery at Dartmouth-HitchcockMedical Center in Lebanon, NH. The have a wls program there whereeven to be considered for surgery you have to go to 4 supprot groupmeetings and lose 15 lbs. I have met both those requirements. Ihave an appointment with my surgeon (Dr. Buchard) on April 17 andhopefully we will be able to schedule surgery when I am there. Ihave medicaid for my insurance and I don't see a problem gettingapproval since I have heard they are the easiest to get it from. Onthe 17th I will also have a gall bladder utlrasound done and an uppergi. I am hoping to have surgery at the end of June. I am activlyinvolved in our local head start program and I have some commitmentswith them that I must keep befor that.
