MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

I just got off the phone with Dr. Kim's people at Celebration Health. As of THIS WEEK, Dr. Kim accepts straight up Medicare A/B!!

Dr. Michael Williams in Alpharetta, GA. Takes STRAIGHT MEDICAID ONLY. If you sign up with a managed care group such as amerigroup or wellcare they won't accept it. It must be straight medicaid. Surgery is out of North Fulton Regional and Emory John's Creek.

hi,
im 30 yrs old. an im thinking of having the gastric bypass surgery. but i have no insurance  and i don't qualify for medicaid due to my age. what can i do im desperate!! im 325 pounds i cant sleep cause i have trouble breathing and when i walk for more than 5 minutes i feel like im gonna faint. please help

How do you not qualify for medicaid due to your age? Medicare is the insurance that requires you to be a certian age. Medicaid mainly is for anyone who cant afford insurance and is in need of health care. Have you applied for Medicaid? Go to www.myflorida.com/accessflorida and apply over the internet... the only thing is I don't know if they cover and weight loss surgery...

HI,
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about any dr.s that take TOTAL HEALTH CHOICE, HMO through MEDICAID, here in Miami, FL.... or if this HMO even covers the lap band procedure.... Thanks

hi. dr. jorge sosa in hialeah takes total. man, they denied my REFERRAL to see him................im waiting on an appeeal

I have medicaid, and had to choose a hmo, i had humana, had the surgery with paul wizman.
humana dropped me, then I had to have Total health choice, they then informed me, dr. sosa no longer accepts total health choice.
