Medipass List of Bariatric surgeons

This is the list I got from Medipass of doctors on their network for Bariatric surgery... This is only a list for the Miami area.  I will paste a copy here:

BARIATRIC SURGEONS (GASTRIC BYPASS)
Dr. Jorge Luis Sosa 305-558-0411
Dr. Juan Fleites 305-856-1002
Dr. Nestor De La Cruz Munoz 305-856-4385
Dr. Eric Valladares 305-558-0411

Dr Jorge Luis Sosa and Juan Fleites accepts Medicaid (with the following manage care HMO or Medipass) and they both do gastric bypass surgeries and the lap band surgeries. Dr Nelson de la Cruz Munoz does not accept Medicaid and the client will be responsible for his fees, however he uses Medicaid for the hospital fees and he also does the lapband surgery.

Hope this helps anyone who had questions about doctors that take Medicaid here in Miami. I am going to try to get one for Broward county as well. Will update if they send it to me.

Okay so I was curious about Dr. Fleites and I called his office and was told he does not accept Medicaid for Bariatric surgery... Go figure!!!! So I guess the ONLY one is Dr. Jorge Sosa and his partner Dr. Valladares.

Here is the surgeon list for Broward county. According to the list they are not accepting new patients, but I would verify that with the doctor's office itself.

Surgery, Bariatric Thomas Bass, M.D. 1150 N. 35th #540 Hollywood 33021 (954) 966-8559 Gastric Bypass

Surgery, Bariatric Brett Cohen, M.D. 1150 N. 35th #540 Hollywood 33021 (954) 966-8559 Gastric Bypass

Surgery, Bariatric Samuel Cox, M.D. 2438 E. Commercial Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33308 (954) 928-0066 Gastric Bypass
