Medicaid coverage in Louisiana for Gastric Sleeve
Hello,
This was the only surgeon we were aware of since Dr. Dominguez stopped taking Medicaid. However, since I shared this information they have since been hit with so many request they are only taking those that live in the area. Here is the information in case you live near there. We wish you luck. This breaks my heart and as someone suggested everyone in your state needs to contact your representatives and see what can be done. Your state pays so little for this procedure no professional can afford to do the surgery.

We have found one and I wanted to share the information with you.

IMPORTANT INFO: PLEASE READ BELOW!*
YOUR PCP MUST FAX YOUR REFERRAL TO THE OFFICE FIRST AND THEY WILL CALL YOU TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. (Fax is (318)495-3882.) Ask receptionist for Eve's VOICEMAIL ONLY AFTER YOUR REFERRAL HAS BEEN FAXED. It will take her 72 hours or a little more to return your phone calls as Ashe is OVERWHELMED with them, so please try and be patient.

Email AND send letters to your Senators telling them why expanding Medicaid is critical and how bad getting care is in your state.
Right now they think only the upper wealthy are inconvenienced by Obamacare. The fact is that you have insurance but no doctors will accept. You WANT to get healthy, but you can't find a doctor.
Your case is an example of what needs to be fixed. Not a tax cut for the rich. Every other civilized country you would be in a program already.
Best of luck.
It is better to travel and get lost...
Than never to travel at all.
