MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!
Hello Members,
On a daily basis we get calls from members in desperate need of surgeons that will accept Medicaid and or Medicare for Bariatric surgery. It breaks our hearts when we have to say "we don't know of any surgeons in your state we can refer you to".
Can you please help us? If you know of any surgeons in your state that accepts Medicaid and or Medicare, will you list their:
Name
If they accept Medicare and or Medcaid
Phone number
Facility
Address
This list will remain here for our members to access and use.
Thank you so much!!!

Hello, my name is Rachel. I was curious if anyone has ever seen someone with Medicaid get approved for Lap Band? I am nervous that I will not be able to get the help that I need so desperately.
I am a single mom, so I know it will be next to impossible to get any kind of help. If anyone has any useful information, boy it sure would help.
Thank you,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
My daughter had the lap Band done by Dr. Christina Richards at Salt Lake Regnial Medical Center.
And it was covered by olina. There are some fees you have to pay for that are not covered. The first initial fee is for setting up the surgery I think is was around $300 to $400.00.
Hopw things go well for you
