Looking for doctor to accept insurance

I am desperately wanting and needing to have this surgery and the only insurance I currently have is Medicaid/Medipass. I will be relocating to Jacksonville, Florida in August and I'm looking for some blessings in that area. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, help if you can! Thanks

Hi Latosha, Welcome to the board.Their are a few of us on the board that have Medipass/Medicaid. The only doctor in FL that currently accepts Medipass is Dr. Cox in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It is quite a distance from Jacksonville, but well worth the trip. Medipass covers everything, but the Psych eval ($250-$400) and the nutritionist ($50 bucks). Dr. Cox is a great surgeon. I am pre-op and just submitted my paperwork to Medipass last week, waiting for an approval. God Bless with everything~ MICHELLE

hay... welcome to the boards...like michelle said.. dr cox is the only one good luck alexa

Yes, Dr. Cox is the only surgeon that accepts medicaid BUT, he only does open. I have medicaid & am going thru Dr. Perry in Vero Beach. I have to pay his fee 5,900. The assistant fee of 800 (for lap or 500 for open) & 600 fee for thr program. I only wanted to do mine lap & figured that the extra cost would be worth it to me. Good Luck!! Gina

Oh, & the hospital accepts medicaid so the rest is paid for. Gina
