Topic: Need a PCP in the St. Petersburg Area

Hello All

 

Just found out that Humana has changed requirements for WLS. All I need is a referral from my PCP and its on to the Surgeon. I have already chose Dr. Jessee to do my surgery.  I want the VSG. My current PCP  is a JSA doc and is totally against surgery. I'm 31 with a BMI of 55. I have high blood pressure and on 4 different meds. I am looking for a WLS friendly PCP. I have about 4 days left to change my PCP to become effective in October. HELP! I'm looking for doc that will write me a referral on My new patient visit. If it helps I have Humana HMO Staff. I'm a teacher with Pinellas County schools.

I do know from lots of research that there is curently no drs in FL that take straight medicaid. However if you can get an HMO for medicaid Staywell will cover it. They do make you have a year of Dr visits and must be recomended by your Dr. I know their is several drs that except Staywall I used Dr. Gordon and Dr. Gonzalvo they due the surgery at Morton Plant in Clearwater. Good Luck

call medicaid they will send you a new card plus if you have a certification letter that you receieved from medicaid with your with your approval date that will help they just need to be able to a  medicaid number or some one to contact to get approval of benefits. i hope this info can help ps. you can also call children and family for help with this situation the new card should be to you before your app with dr.
