MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

I am 26 years old and have degenerative back disease and patella fibrosis in my knees. I run between 325 AND 350 pounds.  This extra weight makes it hard to do anything physical and I am trying to get lap band surgery. I have medicaid right now and I am trying to get disability because of my issues Can anyone give me advice on where to go? or what doctors to see that will accept medicaid? Please help

Thanks, 

Mandy

Mandy,

I am very curious to know how you are doing now, and what steps you were able to take. I am 30 and have degenerative disc and joint disease, currently have 7 ruptured discs in my cervical and lumbar spine and have had two surgeries. I am in the appeal process for disability and have a very wonderful lawyer. I am up to 220 pounds, the heaviest I have ever been. I was able to maintain weight when I was able to be more active but over the last year I am barely able to walk and continue gaining weight which is only adding to the pain.

I would greatly appreciate any help or advise you could offer. It is rare I meet anyone my age with similar health issues and concerns.

MEDICAID: CARESOURCE(HMO) MOLINA (HMO)

NOt sure about Medicare...

They refer to outside Psych Eval (doctor also takes caresource)

I will be calling for the Peoria, IL group to see if they'll take me. I tried to get breast reduction but the gal I spoke with said they do not do the pre certification. Sounds silly since they take care of it in Peoria & they're actually through the same company. I'm wanting to get mine in late spring early summer. It's too dangerous to drive an hour & a half in winter. I wish they would get some doctors here in Sterling or @ least in Dixon @ KSB.

I have Illinois Medicaid and in need of help finding a surgeon that takes my insurance. I live 25 miles north of St. Louis, MO. Can anyone help put me on the right track to finding what I need?

I currently live in Melbourne FL and have Medicaid staywell. I am trying to find a surgeon who accepts my insurance. I have been doing a lot of research on the lap ban and want to get it done. I have tried everything else but nothing has worked. 

I am looking for a doctor in California that accepts medi-cal ( pretty much the same as Medicaid) any info please email me @ [email protected]

How is it going with the new HMO's that everyone has to change to? Its hard for me to find a Dr. in my "network" My Dr. is affiliated with Alexian Brothers hospital,but they don't take it...

I too am looking for a surgeon in Alabama, that takes medicaid.Your help would be very much appreciated:)
