You can check with my doctor Tamara. He did a year ago when I had my surgery. Clarence Hixon 404-265-3333 285 Boulevard NE Suite 440 Atlanta, GA I know Dr. Duncan use to accept it also, and a Dr. Khaitan. Not sure of their contact informaion though. Good luck on your journey. Barb

Dr. Maynard accepts Medicare. Phone: 770-602-1292 Fax: 770-602-1296 1612-B Milstead Road NE Conyers GA 30012 You will have a 3 month program to complete before surgery. He is accepting medicare but it would be at least October before you would have surgery. You have to attend 3 support group meetings. Get medical and psych clearences, etc. They expect by September to have thier facility approved by Medicare as a Center of Excellence. You will have to find a doctor who accepts Medicare but also operates out of a Medicare approved Center of Excellence facility. http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicareApprovedFacilitie/BSF/list.asp#TopOfPage
