I just got approved for Medicaid, now what do I do?

YAY, WOW I can't believe it. If I am reading all the papers correctly then I have medicaid. This is what I have been trying so hard to get! So now that I have it, I just got the letter today, what do I do. Or rather, does anyone know the best doctor in this area to see who supports surgery? Do you know what the process is for being approved for surgery with Medicaid? I am so excited to maybe, hopefully, finally having a way to get this surgery. I am so ready to begin doing whatever I have to do to get it. Thanks for all you help and support. I am so happy I have this board to come to! Candy

I am so happy for you, I will get you some information. Hug's Jeannie

Hey Jeannie! I knew you would happy for me. thanks for the support. I will defiantly keep you updated!

WOW WOW WOW WOW I am so very happy for you Candy. The only doctor I could find in Georgia was Dr Duncan's office. Believe me I searched long and hard and even had Amy Williams looking for me too. Call me if you need any details. His office has a seminar coming up on the 14th I believe. That is the first step. Again congratulations.

I know, WOW is right, I can't hardly belive it! I am planning on going saturday to the seminar thanks for telling me about that. Where do you suggest I go to get the clearences that I need to get? Do I have to get a PCP to set those up for me? and if I do, who is the best that supports this surgery? My brain is trying to figure so much out all at once. So how are you feeling???

Candy, My PCP is wonderful and she has really been here for me. I will get you her information if you need it. Hug's Jeannie

I am glad for you. I had good luck with Duncan's office. My surgery went good and I lost the weight. We are making room for you on the 'losers bench."

Dr. Ducans office was the best for me I attended a simenar on December 14th 06 got my packet and made all the appoints for my clearences that monday. Make sure you get all your medical clerences!!! Because Tracey and Lolitta wont submitt to the insurence untill thay have every thing. Thats so you dont get denided. I have Peachstate and was approved within 48hr after thay got my papers. Please attend the simenar ASAP! to get started you have to get the packet before so you can begain your journey. Its a long process good luck mine started in November 2006 and I got my surgery date April 10th its (May 7th ) Be very agressive Good Luck Please contact me if I can help you in any way. JULIA

thanks Julia! Dr. Duncan was who I was planning on going through. I guess I just need to figure out where to go to get the clearences I need to send in with the packett. I am planning on going to this saturdays seminar, I do not want to waist any time on this. Thanks for the info! Candy

Candy, In my opinion you can not go wrong with Dr Duncans office. My surgery was done by Dr Hodson and the help and support I recieved was nothing short of the best.
