GA Surgeons who take Medicaid?

Hi yall, I'm a post-op over in Alabama (waving to my homestate folks in GA!). My sister-in-law was lined up with a surgeon in the Dallas/Douglasville area for WLS, and he accepts Medicaid, which she is on. She was half-way thru her 6 month supervised diet when she was sidetracked by another medical problem - they found a lump in her breast. She had cancer & had a mastectomy in May, then chemo. She's doing great now, and feeling much better. She wants to get back on track to have WLS, but the surgeon she was seeing has moved and she can't find another in her area who accepts Medicaid. She has no computer so I told her I'd try to help her check around. Anybody know of a surgeon in her area who accepts Medicaid? Or anyone have suggestions about other resources I could check? THANK YOU! Kathy

Here's a link to others that had Medicaid in GA. Good Luck! http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/list-insurers.php?State=GA&alphaPos=M Becky

Becky thanks so much for your reply! I didn't realize the other great search tools on oh.com - got lots of great info there. THANK YOU for cluing me in! Kathy

Here is a site to check, unfortunately you would have to go doctor by doctor to find one that accepts Medicaide. http://www.bariatricedge.com/dtcf/components/locator/result I think Dr. Maynard in Conyers GA accepts it. http://www.samabariatrics.com/index.htm

another great resource - THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have started looking & pulling out names & numbers for my SIL to call. She is SO excited just to have some possibilities. Some of them she has already checked & they don't take it anymore. But she has a little HOPE that there is SOMEBODY out there who might help her with this. Thank you for helping me help get the info to her! Kathy
