are you really meaning medicaid? which that is when you are on public aid, Medi-cal is a liquid protein drink or I should say it is powdered protein to make your protein drinks with. So sorry ,but that is what the last liquid protein diet drink that I used before I finally decided to do the WLS. what I used is called Medi-Cal and it is a liquid protein drink that I got from my gastro DR. and that is I think the only way you could get it but it was called Medi-Cal anyway So sorry i did not have any idea that is waht they call a medical service in another state

Bakersfield Bariatrics (Maureen Martin) takes Medi-cal, but not Medicare. They will tell you that they're getting their Medicare COE approval, but they've been saying that for 2 yrs! They have a $1000 program fee for ALL patients (that is an extra cash payment you must pay before surgery) They're nice, but I needed someone who will take Medicare too.
The Delano Surgical group (Keshishian) will take both medicare and medi-cal, but they have a $3000 extra fee.
Good luck to you all. :)
