Health Insurance Basics
Do you know the difference between a POS and a PPO?

Medicaid is a health insurance program for individuals and families with low incomes and resources. It is jointly funded by the states and federal government and is managed by the states. The income limits for adults to receive Medicaid are extremely low (coverage for children only allows for a much higher income level). While gastric bypass may be a covered procedure, it is up to each individual doctor to determine if they would accept the Medicaid insurance (doctors do not have to accept the Medicaid insurance). In fact, doctors who accept Medicaid are generally limited, particularly in specialty fields (such as gastric bypass). Most doctors who will accept the Medicaid insurance are general or family practice doctors or pediatricians.
