Hi Msrenas,

I just spoke with Monika and since they are the only ones that are taking Medicaid right now they are very backed up. She said the best time to reach her in the office was Mon & Weds 11-4. The rest of the time they are doing surgeries. Phone number 897-0700.

Keep me posted

Did you have to leave a message for them to call you back because every time I call I just get an answering machine.

I have Health Blue as well. You have to contact healthy Louisiana. That is the Medicaid office itself. They give you a really hard time but you can request a change in your plan. When I spoke with them they told me I needed supporting documents and medical records. I asked what type of supporting documents and never could get an answer. I am not sure what to put in my letter other than all of the surgeons I have contacted. I cannot wait until open enrollment which is in July and takes effect in September. I will no longer have Medicaid coverage by that time. Wish you best of luck! I'm trying to get a loan and go to Mexico. My daughter is in the medical field and several of her employees used a specific group called Quality Medical Facilitators. They all had an awesome experience the cost is around 4500. You can look them up one line or on Facebook. Best of luck to you!

Hi Mrs Jencrouch... Well I'm going to definitely keep in touch with you on new information and leads... I had 3 people from this site help me so I have helped someone else and everything panned out good for them with that same doctor's office. It's just my insurance is not cooperating with paying what they're asking for so it's a hold up and that one reason has killed my whole spirit about getting my surgery... Email me and we can talk more I'm at [email protected]... Hope to hear from you soon!

I am in the Exact situation that you are in! I have exhausted every lead that I have been given. I spent hours online and on the phone trying to find that one doctor. I am so discouraged I don't know where to turn anymore!

How long is the process before surgery is scheduled?

I would call your insurance and see what you can do to change your insurance. I know a lot of people that have done it in TX. No surgeons that take Amerigroup and they change to Molina and go to Dr. Now in Houston... Call them and see what they say. If they say no, then they need to give you some names and numbers of surgeon that take blue... GRRRRRR

I will keep looking!!!

I spoke with Mrs. Monika last week Mrs.Kathy and she told me that my insurance was not cooperating with them, so again I'll probably not be able to have my surgery. Because there's NO DOCTORS in Louisiana taking Medicaid/Healthy Blue. I'm beyond tired of asking looking and practically begging to have my surgery so now at this point I've given up completely... I can't find anyone to help me at this point!
