Would there be a Co-Pay for Bariatric Surgery with Medicare and Medicaid?
I was just wondering, I am on disability I live in Michigan and I am interested in getting the Bariatric Surgery done. Only thing is though the place I am looking at going to says you have to have all co-pays or deductibles paid in full prior to the surgery. Does anyone know if there would be a co-pay or deductible from Medicare (Primary) and Medicaid (Secondary)?

It depends on which Medicare program you are under. If you have Part A and Part B, there will be a small co pay. If you have Medicare Advantage (Part C), you will have to consult with your private insurer to find out.
Medicare/Medicaid are just like any other insurance. contact your provider to find out what is covered. speak with your surgeon’s billing department about payment options.
