Hi I'm new on here I want to find a doctor that takes med-cal/medicare can someone please help me

Dr.David Thoman who works out of Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital accepts medicare-medical , i.e. medicare medicaid.

(805) 730-1470

and

Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital both accept medicare- medicaid.

 

When I was newly disabled by my weight ( pedal edema, shortness of breath, diabetes, hypertension etc) and being diagnosed with right sided heart failure from severe sleep apnea I began Calif. State Disability. This and my lack of income or savings qualified me for Med i-cal ( newly called Medicaid by calif). That was in 2009.

 

I then applied for Social Security income / or SSI/SSD. When I was approved for my SSD - Social Security Disability they told me that 2 years from the day I applied, they would advance me to Medicare health insurance so ...7/1/2011 I began Medicare - since my income was still under $1650/month I qualified for Medicaid too. So Medicare covers about 80% then Medicaid picks up the 20% - deductibles etc. Doctors call this coverage medi- medi.

 

All that was to explain

 

For two years I searched California unable to find one doctor or hospital willing to take bariatric patients for Med i-cal ( Medicaid ) insurance alone. They do accept it but only With Medicare as your primary coverage.

 

I have now completed the Pre- Weight loss surgery "Must Do" List of psych evaluation, chest x ray, EKG, treadmill, lab work , nutritionist and more. All but the psych evaluation were covered by Medi Medi . Next I meet with Dr Thoman to review it all and ideally set date for surgery.

 

I hope that was not too redundant for this thread and helped to illustrate the confusing hamster wheel of state assisted coverage in calif. It's a miserable system.

I have recently moved to LA county and can get Medi-Cal here with either HealthNet or LA Care Health Plan. I know this forum thread hasn't really been updated in years. Does Medi-Cal even allow weight loss surgery anymore?
Thanks in advance.

Surgical Weight Loss at Fountain Valley Regioanl Hospital currently takes medi-cal. with a med group (IPA) 714-966-3391  (you can ask for me, and I can give you more info)
