Anyone know of a surgeon who takes Medicaid for wlS?

I am currently thinking of a  revison. I am so depressed. I think I have gained 60 pounds back, and keep gaining....any advice would be appreciated... Mary

Are Medicaid and Title 19 the same thing???  I know when I had my surgery that Dr. Bell at Yale was accepting Title 19....just not sure if that's the same thing?? 

Thanks so much. I will check......thanks

Any "Bariatric Center of Excellence" accepts Medicare, because it's the government that does the approval process of being a COE... Not so sure that a revision would be at all covered, though, unless you can prove your first surgery was done incorrectly, etc. Here is the link to a listing of all the CT COE's: http://www.surgicalreview.org/locate.aspx?state=US-CT#srchRe sults Paula

Also, the very first post on this message list is a list of the medicare surgeons inthe state.

Hi, I believe  Dr. Tishler out of Hartford Hospital accepts Medicaid. A man at my support group had him and he's on State Aid. Dr. Tishler has an office in Rocky Hill and Hartford I believe, he was my friend's surgeon, that's how I know about his offices. Good Luck !
