Does New Start take the public aid card? Who does in IL?

A friend of mine ask me to find out if New Start takes the public aid, medicaid card? If not wheres the closest place to Belleville Il. I think may be Springfiield Il Or Peoria Il. Could you please email the Dr's phone number if you know of one! Also how soon after giving birth can you have wls? Her baby is 9 mths old. She does not have a computer! I am 20mths post op now! I went from a sixe 24 to a size 8! I am having my plastic surgery on my tummy on Thursday over at Barns in St Louis with Dr James Lowe. I had to self pay $11,500.00. Yes I had to pay all of it before surgery! I will come home Friday afternoon! I am going today to JC Pennys to buy an extra binder/girdle. It has to be worn 24 hrs a day for 4 weeks. I am also having some lipo suction done on my theighs so I have to have a long lined girdle almost to my knees! Ok I got to run! See ya all lighter! Cyndi

I heard they dont take the IDPA card,but the best person to respond to that would be Debby G.The closest place that takes the IPDA card is Urbana,Dr.Oiphant.(217-383-4146)I hope i have helped alittle..Congrates on all your up coming surgerys!!

Cyndi I have a complete list on my profile of IPA providers... New start will not accept IPA..

Debbie, Hinsdale Hospital take IDPA, Dr. Dillon (the surgeoun currently doing wls does not) but he takes Medicare, this might be usefull to add to your list. I have both being on disabilty and only had to pay him $350, so for those with medicare it might be helpfull. Giovanna

Thanks Giovanna I will add them to the master list!!!
