Topic: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!
Hello Members,
On a daily basis we get calls from members in desperate need of surgeons that will accept Medicaid and or Medicare for Bariatric surgery. It breaks our hearts when we have to say "we don't know of any surgeons in your state we can refer you to".
Can you please help us? If you know of any surgeons in your state that accepts Medicaid and or Medicare, will you list their:
Name
If they accept Medicare and or Medcaid
Phone number
Facility
Address
This list will remain here for our members to access and use.
Thank you so much!!!

Anybody dealing with RH here in SC? If so, have you found any Doctors/specialist that are willing to accept and help people with this condition?
The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.

Hi Kesa!!!! agree with slimmerme55. I am also going through Riverside Surgical & Dr. Marc Antoinette is absolutely amazing.
They do take Tricare. I had to have bloodwork done, endoscopy, psy eval & sleep study. I started this journey in April and my insurance require a 6mth weight mangement program I am on my 3rd month have 3 more to go so my surgery will not be until Nov. I am requesting you as a friend maybe we could talk a little more. Congratulations on being approved!!!!!
