Weight Loss Surgeons who take Medicad in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge areas

What are you going to do next month Gemini?

Anyone have updated doctors? Cause alot of them has stopped thanks

Hello Mimigary,

Sadly I just called and they are no longer taking "any" medicaid patients. We only know of one surgeon that is taking Medicaid.

Dr. Niazy Selim MD:

215 W Prien Lake Rd, Lake Charles LA 70601,

Ph (337) 502-8706,

Fax (337) 210-1271

I verified they take all kinds of Medicaid but "Aetna Better Health"

I spoke with Latasha yesterday and she confirmed they are still taking new patients but they are backed up until Feb. She said new patients need to have their doctors fax in the approval letter. Please be patient as it could take a few weeks. Once they call, they are referring people to Dr. Victor Jackson for all the Medicaid pre-op requirements which can take about 4 months. When completed then Dr. Selim's office will schedule surgery depending on his schedule.

If you have any questions please let me know [email protected]

Regards,

Kathy
