Looking for a doctor in Illinois who accepts medicaid for all necessary procedures.

Hi all, I am looking for a doctor in illinois who accepts medicaid for all procedures. I called Dr. Nagles office and they said the surgery would be covered by medicaid but all of the pre-op and post-op procedures would not be. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Call dr oliphant in champaign. I have medicaid and so far they have paid for everything. He is really professional and very strict. His nurse is Ann and she handles most of his calls. He does the surgery at carl clinic. If you want anymore information please email me. Trisha 337/290/170

how much did the surgery cost? i might be self pay also...

The cost was around $45,000 If i were you I would call some teaching hospitals and see if they have a CHARITY Program and if you qualigfy they will cover up to a 100%. West Sub in Oak Park dose offer this program. But you might have to live in Cook County. Good Luck cher
