Dr Nagle  Northwestern Hospital Chicago IL Takes Medicaid and medicare

Dr. Haplin is no longer with Barnes Hospital and they will not accept Illinois medicaid any longer.

hi, i want medcaid to pay for my lap band surgery what is the fast track?

Mercy hospital chicago il. accept medicaid for lap band only

do you have a phone number for me?

Dr Vivek Prachand and Dr Alverdy at University of Chicago both accept medicare. They are partners. They also do all three types of surgery that medicare pays for and do not push one or the other but try to taylor fit the surgery to each patient. I drove from SW MO (550 miles) to have mine done there and have the other half of the DS to get this summer there as well. I paid with medicare.

Do you have a phone number for them? Thanks so much Lori

Called them today.  4 year waiting list!  Crazy!  I'm going to go with Mercy Hospital.
